"In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel invisible. Every one of us has an innate desire to be seen and valued for who we are at the core of our hearts."
ALICIA TUBBS is a full-time professional artist living in Plano, TX. Alicia is a natural born creative and her desire to create started at a very young age. “Looking back, I obviously excelled in the arts at school, but my grandmothers were the most creative individuals I could relate to. We shared an instinctive love for the arts. One grandmother wrote poetry, designed jewelry, and crocheted and the other excelled at the piano, sang and painted. Realizing that an aptitude for creativity is part of my generational inheritance, I’ve fully embraced my commitment as a contemporary artist.”
But Alicia’s artistic story is a bit different than most artists. Alicia's art career began later in life. It wasn't until she was gifted a watercolor set, by her daughter, on her fifty-first birthday that she reignited her love for painting. From that day forward she has devoted herself to developing her creative skills as a painter and learning all she can about the business of art.
Alicia is a storyteller at heart and interpreting her visual tales, through her paintings, brings her great joy. These inspirations stem from Alicia’s symbolic imagination representing secret realms filled with magnificent depths of femininity and beauty. Alicia’s painting are captivating, and her compositions are executed with intent and motive.
“My subjects are linked together through precise and distinctive placements. I purposely fill the atmosphere with visual fragrances that linger in the air and connect with viewers as they personally identify with the unfolding narratives.”
Alicia enjoys spending countless hours in her bright studio. It overlooks a wooded creek filled with bird feeders.
It's not uncommon for Alicia to spot a coyote, bobcat, or a cardinal from her second story studio windows. Nature is one of the most significant inspirations to Alicia. When she’s ready to apply her compositions to canvas, a variety of materials are used. For example – acrylic paint, spray paint, and water-soluble crayons make up the first few layers, then rich oil paints are used to complete the final layer before varnishing.
Alicia and her husband are empty nesters who have four children and seven grandchildren. They are native Texans who share a dream of moving to the mountains of Colorado.
“I am an artist; God made me who I am! I want my paintings to be seen and shared with the world!”
