Alice is a Whimsical Nature Artist at Palmview on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, she draws inspiration from the world around her, finding beauty in the often-overlooked details of life. Her passion for birds and flowers stems from her father's love for them. Alice's paintings are created from her imagination and have a beautiful balance of contrasting colours selected with her intuition. Using a whimsical style, she aims to captivate viewers and evoke feelings of joy and wonder, transporting them back to childhood.
Alice was born on the Sunshine Coast and has been creative since she was a small child, dabbling in all kinds of creative things throughout her life. “I am a self-taught Artist. Art and creating is not a choice for me, it is something I have to do.” In 2002 she became more serious about her Art practice and in 2004 became a member of a community-based Gallery for 10 years, exhibiting her work in exhibitions and became a committee member introducing new ideas and practices to help the Gallery grow and evolve. She was also an Art Teacher in a Primary School for 10 years from 2005 - 2015, during which time she started her own business as an Artist, Art Supply Store and Art Teacher. Alice started her business in 2012 to current, including a Brick-and-Mortar Gallery, Shop & Studio from 2019 – 2024 in Buderim. Alice recently closed her store front and is now running her business from her home studio, to honor her art practice.
Alice’s enchanting art is like stepping into a whimsical wonderland that captures the essence of childhood. "When I paint, I am transported to a peaceful and fun place where time seems to disappear. My love for creativity and nature has been with me since childhood, spending a lot of time creating but also climbing trees, gardening, exploring creeks and playing Tiggy. While I have a vision for my work, it evolves along the way, resulting in layers of vibrant colours and intricate details with a little touch of magic. I am committed to using the highest quality materials, as I believe it is crucial to the longevity, look, feel and impact of my art."
Alice was recently featured in *Hello Sunshine Magazine*, where her art graced the cover, and her story was shared. As she looks forward to new adventures in her Artist journey, Alice remains committed to capturing the beauty of the natural world through her unique and playful perspective.
