Profile

Alicia’s textile work is mostly about colour and beauty. Like music, which freely evokes pleasurable feelings in the listener, she hopes her pieces will offer visual enjoyment to viewers, rather than require complex interpretation.

She clearly has a passion for colour. Her background is in photography, and her way of seeing reflects her training. She works in an intuitive way, on the design wall, using freeform cutting, free curved piecing, fused appliqué and fabric collage. Inspiration comes from many different sources, visual and imagined, as diverse as the colours of nature, the urban townscape, the needs of the planet and the magic of ideas.

Alicia has studied with many well-known international textile teachers, exhibits internationally and has won several awards, most recently the Society of Designer Craftsmen's Pollie Weiss prize for most exciting use of colour by an established member. She lectures and teaches, and works to commission.
