Original Illustration
Illustration and the hand drawn is the keystone of Winding Road's practice. A 'beyond passionate' student and teacher of Architectural drafting throughout her studies and early career, Alicia now directs that loves of fine detail and monochrome pallet into elaborate and complex botanical compositions. The freeform of nature and the technical application make for creative interpretations and delicate pieces that convey movement and mood. The subject matter of the Alpine and Kiewa Valley is always the muse, and when asked why pen and not other mediums, Alicia's response is...
​
'...because the hand drawn sketch is always so immediate. The hand, the mind and the heart are all entwined at one moment in time to create a mark on paper that cannot be repeated. A fierce alchemical process happens within oneself to produce artwork. People who don't profess themselves to be creative don't understand the importance of the creative act for a creative professional. It's not a hobby or a nostalgic pastime.
We need to do it, like we need to breathe - or things will eventually and inevitably go awry..."
