About This Blog
Every since I can remember, I have loved to write. It never quite took over my life the way that music and photography did, but its always been a constant in my life. Its been a necessity for my sanity. This blog was created as a way to reflect on my life as an artist, acknowledge my growth and explorations, and share them with whoever might be interested. I also love learning about other people/artists/musicians and their own unique journey, so I decided I should be open to sharing as well. Feel free to drop me a line, or if you have a blog also, send me a link. -Alicia
Head Over Heels
awoke this morning earlier than I had in over a month. Gratefully wide awake at such an hour, for I hadn't slept away most of the morning. Last night I was visciously tired for no reason, and gave in by 10 pm. This morning I could hear the rain falling and looked over to the window to see a grey gloomy sky. The rain doesn't bother me much, but it did bring a strange feeling. Excitement accompanied by sorrow. I stopped myself from getting up immediately to ponder why such a feeling would grasp me. And then I realized: Fall is upon us…

Profile - Elizabeth Hoogveld
While vacationing in Scotch Creek, my little sister indulged me in a quick spontaneous photo shoot. She's 17, gorgeous, and one of the coolest people I know. Musically talented, Elizabeth shines on piano and flute. Surprisingly mature and intelligent for her age, my baby sis has a tendency to make me feel like she is the older one. (She's 10 years younger!)
Renew
Taking advantage of the summer meant a 8 hour drive to inner BC, to a rustic cabin on Shuswap Lake. It felt great to get away, and change up my environment. I love that feeling when you know you are hundreds of miles away from home. Travel of any kind has always lifted my spirits, even if its just for a few days. I spent most of my time on my folks boat, and swimming, with the nights and early mornings dedicated to editing photos and feeling inspired by the new surroundings…
