| Alicia Sotherland is a self taught artist who began painting in 1999, after several other career pursuits.
Having been a child of artists, she was surrounded by the world of art and encouraged when she would draw. However, Alicia never thought about being and artist until the fall in 1999 when she decided to make a career change. Having drawn mostly faces as a child, it seemed natural for her to begin with the portrait.
“Although I paint other subjects, the portrait and figure have always been my passion. For me there is no better way to express emotion than with a face, or to tell a story through pose and gesture in a specific moment.
My paintings represent every part of me. There is no difference in the way I live and the way I paint. My unconventional approach to painting echos my unconventional approach to the way I live. "
Alicia resides in Escondido, CA where she paints in her studio at home with her supportive and loving husband and several cats.
"Art is my career and it brings a lot of Peace... |
