Capturing the beauty of nature's bounty, Alicia Cornwell is an oil painter who brings flora to life. With a Degree in Fine Art and a Diploma of Education, Alicia has garnered acclaim in prestigious art competitions across Australia, winning top prizes at the Art Lovers Australia and Bluethumb Art Prizes.
Painting from her mountain studio outside Melbourne, she finds inspiration in the surrounding parks and gardens, combining exotic blooms and native greenery with intriguing objects unearthed from her time as an antique dealer.
With a current focus on color palettes and organic shapes, Alicia's still lifes reveal both the nuance of the natural world and the mark of human imagination.
Her work can be found at the following galleries:
