Alecia Childs has fearlessly explored the realms of sexuality, humor, and pop culture through various materials and mediums along her artistic journey. What started as an award-winning career in Nail Art took a transformative turn when she painted an intricate portrait of James Dean on a nail, prompting the question: 'Why not use a larger canvas?' This pivotal moment marked the shift to traditional painting.

Art became Alecia's solace during personal hardships, gaining even more significance after triumphing over a rare cancer. Her vibrant and cheeky paintings reflect an optimistic spirit, capturing the essence of her resilience and love for life. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Roy Lichtenstein and Frida Kahlo, Alecia now channels her creativity in the picturesque landscapes of Squamish, BC.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.”

— Frida Kahlo
