Alycia Shiann
My name is Alycia Shiann. I am a 25 year old artist residing in Long Beach, CA. I began my artist journey my junior year of high school when I was placed in an Intro to Art class. I had no intention of putting much effort into my work because I didn’t see it as necessary at the time. However, my teacher encouraged me and showed me my strengths. After the first project, 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 represents the connection humans have to nature and how important it is to protect it for our emotional and physical well-being. I achieve this through vibrant colors, landscape imagery, and symbolism. My spirituality and personal experiences are also present throughout my body of work. I have been painting and drawing for over 8 years and have been fortunate enough to show my artwork across the US, including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. I am also starting to explore a career as a muralist and I completed my first mural for the city of Long Beach in 2024.
