Alice Lucas is the Leeds Arts Council’s featured artist in March.  The public is invited to the opening reception on March 6, 2016, 1:30-3:30 pm to view her beautiful art work.  Admission is free.

Alice Lucas fell in love with photography during a gap year program in Siena, Italy when she was eighteen years old. This extracurricular class in Siena led her to study photography at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where she received a B.F.A. in March of 2013. At SCAD, Alice was particularly drawn to classes on experimental printing techniques where she created multi-media photographic works on wood blocks covered in gold or silver leaf.

Upon graduation, Alice founded her business, Allie Ray Photography, where she continues to explore multi-media printing, both with her own photographs as well as client commissions. In addition to printing, Alice enjoys photographing events such as weddings, engagement parties and baptisms.  Alice specializes in taking photographs of landscapes, houses, children and pets.

Alice has participated in the Highlands County Club Art Show in Highlands, North Carolina for the past three years, where a portion of the proceeds benefits the Highlands’ Scholarship Fund.  She has also donated her work to the Gateway ‘Off the Wall’ event for the past two years.

When Alice isn’t busy taking photographs while traveling or of her nephews, she resides in Birmingham, Alabama with her beloved rescue dog Paprika.     (Biography composed by Marguerite Armitage)

Ms. Lucas’ work will be on exhibit through April 1, 2016.
