Surveyer, Alicia
Alicia Surveyer was born in Lachine, Quebec in 1980. Although she may be young in age, Alicia is mature in her artistic achievement and has been showing her work for almost fifteen years. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Concordia University, and has extensive experience in the many aspects of her field: teaching art, showing her work, publishing projects, modeling for artists, gallery work and representation including exhibits at over a dozen different galleries, as well as extensive travel to art-historical centers. She was also invited to display her art online by the Saatchi Gallery, London, in 2006. She has developed an innovative and exciting visual style in her painting, all the while dealing with modern-day issues about nature and her stance towards it. Alicia believes her role as a creative person is a vital one because of an artist’s capability to make statements that express ideas to the public. Her work is currently archived in the collection of the Library and Archives of the National Gallery of Canada, and Alicia has sold dozens of pieces to private collectors.
