Words by Teresa Spencer

Based out of Jacksonville, artist Alicia Kay’s work features bright colors and diverse textures that gives the viewer a unique experience, particularly her work in mixed media art and string art. Her work has been featured in local galleries and boutiques all throughout NE Florida. She has been selling her art online worldwide since 2014. 

What makes her art special? Kay says that each piece is made with love and healing energy. “I attempt to fill the world with more color and joy.” Not a day goes by that she isn’t busy chasing her childhood dream of being an artist full time and does so in the memory of her mom who always believed in her ability to do so. 

 You can find her work on all social media platforms as @aliciakayartsandcrafts.
