Between studying in Italy and learning with professional muralists & public artists at CSUMB, Alycia had decided by her senior year that murals were going to be the best way to share her talent.
The Loggerhead Turtle's Voyage [pictured below] was a group project she helped paint at a high school local to CSUMB. A great experience working in a big team and with the realm of community art it helped her narrow her specialty to commission work focusing on individual customers.

In 2015, Alycia returned to the 5 Cities area on the central CA coast. And in 2017, she started work getting involved with the city public art opportunities in Grover Beach. Finally, in 2019 there is really great progress and the city has it's first new mural in decades! Hopefully the progress will snowball and bring about more opportunities and public art to the city.
