Alice West

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 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.
