Alicia K. Longley grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia, and spent countless summers at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, where the salty air and coastal landscapes became lasting inspirations for her work. Coming from a multi-generational family of artists, Alicia pursued her passion for creativity by earning a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University.

 

After graduating, she honed her craft working with several printers before landing her dream role as a Graphic Designer at World Art Group in Richmond, VA—an internationally recognized art publisher with clients across the globe.

 

Outside of design, Alicia channels her creativity into music as a vocalist with her band, The Blistered Hearts. She also finds joy in traveling to inspiring destinations and tending to her garden, both of which fuel her artistic vision.
