ABOUT
Arts Richmond Artist of the year 2022
Alice is an artist with a specialist interest in landscape and bespoke commissions. She also enjoys developing her practice within the fine arts by exploring a range of mediums, and has worked more broadly within the arts field through the organisation and curation of exhibitions.
​​
Alice enjoys painting with vibrant colours and has an eye for detail, however also counters this precision using the freedom and expression of charcoal in her life drawings.
Alice studied A-Level art and a year of Liberal Arts in Connecticut, USA. Following this she chose to pursue a career in Clinical Psychology, gaining a Doctorate degree and specialising in older adult and dementia care. Her 11 years as a psychologist afforded her the opportunity to work with clients across the lifespan with a range of difficulties. Throughout this time, she continued her artwork alongside clinical practice, through a range of short courses.
​
Given her extensive experience in mental health, she is passionate about raising awareness within the arts. She worked as part of a small curatorial team for The Perspective Project, a social enterprise tackling mental health stigma through art and creativity. She was also awarded Arts Richmond 'Richmond Artist of the Year' 2022 for her painting in tribute to a nature-based wellbeing programme at the London Wetland Centre.
