About Alicia

I’m Alicia Hanson, a Mexican-born artist living in Utah. My paintings explore color, movement, and life’s unexpected moments, turning everyday subjects into something meaningful. Each piece is created to invite reflection, offering a glimpse of the world as I see and feel it.

I work primarily alla prima, completing each painting in a single session while the paint is still wet. This approach combines decisive movement with technical intuition, emphasizing bold light, expressive brushwork, and lost and found edges. My aim is to capture not just how a subject looks, but how it moves and exists in a moment.

Based in Riverton, I continue to evolve my practice, blending my background in visual arts with a commitment to the timeless tradition of oil painting. Through my work, I hope to bring a sense of presence, energy, and discovery into the spaces where it lives.
