Alice began painting and drawing from a very young age and because her childhood was spent in Japan, all her original aesthetic sensibility was developed there. Alice inter-mixes realism and ‘unrealism’ in her own particular way.

A very strong strand of interest for Alice is her love of the natural living world. This is evident in all her works which are filled with animals and plants of every kind. Alice has no fear of strong and bright colour and her paintings are saturated with pattern, colour and light.

‘Imagine ‘ brings together recent paintings by Alice, many of which are sometimes intensely energetic and always colourful. The aesthetic culture of Japan, which Alice absorbed during her childhood years in Tokyo and  Kyoto and in her travels in Europe and other parts of Asia, have all melded together to give her work a unique language of structure, imagination and colour. In these paintings Alice combines striking realism with vivid imagined landscapes.
