About Alicia Vasquez
Alicia was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and most of her multicultural family has been native to Ohio for the over a century. Its thought that art might have been the destiny for Alicia as she was born with a disease in her intestine and spent the first 5 years of her life living in the hospital. She had over 15 surgeries as a child and almost didnt make it to live after 5. Luckily she fought through and made it to full recovery with the help of her loving mother.
Throughout her youth and growing up after those first years, were at the least a little rougher as she fell behind on a lot of general childhood development skills. Her mother who also was an artist, encouraged her to use art as a coping mechanism as well as a means of communication to understanding the outside world. It was through her passion as a child for creating that drew her to know she always wanted to be an artist and later attended the Cleveland Institute of Art to obtain a BFA in Illustration. Throughout her schooling, she picked up several new techniques and skills and love to experiment with several different mediums. The ones that she drew to love the most were drawing and painting.
After school soon later in her adult career as a practicing artist, she regained her attention back to approaching her work through a meditational self awareness focus. After having much life experience and also within her own self discovery and spiritual nature, she loved participating in cultural arts festivals selling one of a kind handmade art and talking about her passion for her work. Tattooing became introduced much later in her adult life and soon after she also started becoming more fascinated with pyrography (wood burning).
Alicia opened White Lotus Art Gallery and Tattoo in April 2024 where she hopes to inspire all who enter with a peaceful, meditational environment and visual art that inspires everyone to find there primitive sense of selves through the use of many different art forms.
