Alicia Hunsicker's art is undeniably beautiful. She is an expert at extracting the highly-detailed textures and fibers of the human body, bringing them from darkness, into the light, with a technical precision that rivals any modern-day master.

Out of Darkness comes the Light ~ Sold


Along with the two new "orb" paintings that sold in early August, This painting was also purchased. It is a 12" x 12" oil on canvas called "Out of Darkness comes the Light" It was painted in 2008 for a show at Hampden Gallery on the UMass campus, but was also shown at Gallery in the Woods soon after. It dawned on me recently after bringing home the orb paintings that I have been painting them for a while now with out realizing it....in the nests (holes), the eggs, eyes, They are all related. The roots that I used to paint are now brain neurons....Interesting!!!

Home Sweet Home


I work in a studio out of my home in this sweet little artist cottage located in the scenic hills of Western Mass. I am booking studio visits for November please email if you are interested in visiting and getting a preview of my new paintings in progress.

"Anything is Possible" ~ Done!


Although this painting was started and almost finished while at Vermont Studio this July, I put on a few final touches of paint and finished it a few weeks later. It is called "Anything is Possible" an oil on paper mounted on board. The last few weeks have been about building custom cradle boards for it and several other pieces to mount on . I mounted this one last week and today I did the final coat of Galkyd to seal it. This painting sold during the first studio visit I had following my residency in August. I am happy to deliver it next week with the two other paintings that sold with it. I will post photos of the others on delivery day.
