Alicia Farris devotes herself full-time to creating art and sharing her passion through teaching watercolor and acrylic workshops and classes.  She has enjoyed recognition in such exhibits as St. Louis and Missouri Watercolor Societies, Missouri Valley Impressionist Society, Southwestern Watercolor Society, and the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies.

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.
