Born in Hoboken in 1954 and raised in northern New Jersey, Alicia’s exploration into color and design began in 1975 as a Contemporary Arts major at Ramapo College of New Jersey, where she studied drawing, painting and design. After a year in New York working with fabrics and design showrooms as an assistant buyer, she decided to pursue the study of textiles and enrolled in evening classes at Parsons School of Design. In study there, and later as a freelance textile designer, her love of color, texture and shape were translated into prints for a New York Home Furnishing Design Studio.
In 2005, the artist began to paint full time. Since then her work has been exhibited in regional and national juried shows and galleries in New England and New York State. She is currently represented by Integrated Arts Management, a fine art source for national & international artwork. The artist resides in New Jersey and paints from her studios in Bergen County and on Cape Cod, MA, overlooking the bay.
