Alycia Shiann
My name is Alycia Shiann. I am a 24 year old artist originally from Northern California and now reside in Long Beach. I began my artistic career my junior year of high school when I was mistakenly placed in an Intro to Art class. I had no intention of putting much effort into my work, but my teacher encouraged me and showed me my strengths. After that, I started revolving my world around art and it changed my goals for the future from marine biologist to aspiring full time artist.
My art is a direct representation of me and my thoughts expressed through bright colors, floral elements, and surrealism. My work explores the connection between humanity and nature and how it is essential for our well-being while also focusing on my spirituality and personal experiences throughout my life. I have been painting and drawing for almost 8 years and moved specifically to Southern California to pursue my career as an artist. I love to challenge my skills and always search for the next big accomplishment. For my future work, I hope to take on bigger canvases and start my first mural while still incorporating my surrealist style.
