Hi, My name is Alicia and I am from the small town of Frostburg Maryland. Im a big dreamer, a hopeless romantic. Im indecisive and at times Im outspoken. I love music, art, food and horror movies.
When I was young, I wanted to be a singer but, the older I got I realized it wasn't the most practical dream. I then got a camera for my birthday when I was 13 and began to take pictures of everything and anything. I took my camera everywhere I went and photography suddenly became a part of me and Since then, I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
About 3 years after I graduated highschool, I found myself working the same dead end jobs; and barely making ends meet. I was very unsatisfied with how I had been living my life because in my heart I knew I was capable of so much more. I applied to college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in April of 2011 and much to my surprise I got accepted. I was enrolled there until January 2012. Due to a drastic moving change, I was forced to quit school. I now live in Henderson Nevada and I currently attend The Art Institute of Las Vegas.
My experience at these different art schools throughout my 5 years after graduation left me with the desire to seek even better opportunities towards my life. My mind is still open on what exactly I want to do with my photography skills in my future, but I know if I put my mind and my heart to something I love, I can do and be anything I want. This is just the beginning of my jump into the field of photography and I am hoping that in the end I will find my landing point and succeed in what I love doing most.
To me, Photography is an art of observation. Its finding something interesting in your own view in an ordinary place and capturing it. I have found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
