Alicia Farris
Alicia Farris in an Internationally recognized watercolor artist and has won numerous awards in both watercolor and acrylic painting. She devotes herself full-time to creating art and sharing her passion through teaching watercolor and acrylic workshops both locally and throughout the country and abroad.
The personalities and flavors of people that she encounters in day-to-day life definitely inspire her work. Even if it’s for trying to just capture a mood, she usually has one hand on her camera when she’s in a crowd. She tries to recreate not just an image, but mood, light, and colors that capture her imagination. Alicia likes to isolate what seems common and try to recreate it in a different light, all the while, providing a source of emotion for the viewer.
Alicia received 1st Place award in the Reader’s Competition by the art editor of the International publication, The Art of Watercolour magazine for her painting “Meeting of the Minds.” She received a 4-page feature in the December issue of The Art Of Watercolour and a 2-page feature in the European leading fine arts magazine, Pratique de Arts. She was honored when nine of her large acrylic paintings were created and purchased for the hospitality area of the Museum of the Bible, Washington, D.C.
Farris’ work has been published in Watercolor Artist, Signature, Missouri Life as well as international publications, Art Of Watercolour and Pratique de Arts magazines. She is signature member of multiple National and International watercolor societies.
