Originally from Bordeaux, France, Alice has studied, worked and lived in many countries (India, Spain, Italy, Ireland, England…) before landing in Charleston SC where she currently resides. Influenced by her background in communication, she developed her love of creating visual art by using acrylics combined with recycled elements from daily life such as newspaper, leather, fabrics, discarded packaging, and jar labels. Colin’s portrait paintings are inspired by her numerous travels and cultural encounters. About her paintings she says, “they aim at highlighting the beauty of different skin colors and all the history, heritage, and emotions the human skin can exude.
