Gravitating to the graffiti culture, creating murals and making art in public spaces and the positive effect that can have in neighborhoods all around the world is where Alice concentrates.

Alice: I thought about communities and families that live along side the boardwalk and the casinos and putting a positive reminder that family always comes first above everything else.
Marc: What is the title of this work?
Alice: This is titled Family First” Its about family and growth and positive reinforcements to children about what family could look like and what it might look like.
There’s symbolism in the hair, being symbolic of water and how water has memory and hold memory. Using triangles, yoni, creation, love and family.
