Born in Peru, working across painting and sculpture with the quiet authority of someone who has always known how to make things with her hands. Alicia Emory's work carries a warmth and precision that are distinctly her own, separate from any other name or lineage. Her first public showing was the Venus Rising exhibition at Marcolina's in 2024, a group show celebrating the resilience and creativity of women. She arrived fully formed. Painter and sculptor. Her work is worth knowing.
