About Me
Artist Biography
Some of my biggest inspirations in art are the Gothic, and Art Nouveau movements, and their respective Architecture in general. I really like world history; lately I like studying the art history of Mongolia, Jordan and France among others. My favorite mediums are mixed media, ink and watercolor. I also really like digital art because it is mess-free and I can do it anywhere. Concept art and character design are my favorite genres to paint. My biggest inspirations in terms of individual artists currently are Ivan Bilibin, Yoshitaka Amano, Evan Amundsen, Kim Jung Gi, Klimt, Rembrandt, Kamome Shirahama, and Monet. Overall, I think art is fun, and I really like to be able to tell a story a message with my art without needing words, and I think that is what draws me to art.
Brief Autobiography
My name is Alicia and I’m a transfer student currently majoring in Studio Art. Outside of art, I’m really passionate about world history, gaming, and music. I’m also interested in travel, and think it would be fun to visit other countries in the future. I live in Stockton currently, and I grew up in Oakland with my parents and my older brothers. I attended a private K-12 school in Oakland, and in middle school I took musical theater classes that I enjoyed. In high school I cross-enrolled both at Los Positas and Chabot community colleges. After taking an art history class, I became interested in studying art seriously. I graduated high-school early at 17 to focus on college; Recently, I graduated from my Las positas college with an A.A degree in June 2022. Overall, I look forward to learning all kinds of things during my duration at UOP.
