Come Sail away with me
on my Magical Journey

Alice Morse - Artist & Teacher

I attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago, where they equip students to turn their artistic talents into a profession. However, as life often does, it led me down a different path. I got married, started a family, and continued my creative pursuits by designing Christmas circulars, layouts, logos, and fashion art for prominent companies. But the demands of art production, along with the constant back-and-forth of pick-ups and deliveries, became overwhelming.

It was during this time that a neighbor introduced me to real estate, promising that I could channel my creativity into designing homes for clients. But, as fate would have it, life’s pace never allowed for that dream to fully materialize.

Eventually, I felt a deep need to reconnect with my art. With the unwavering support of three close friends, I embarked on a new chapter, rediscovering the joy that art brings to my life. Now, I hope to inspire others to find the same fulfillment in the world of art that I have found.

Two quotes guide my journey: the Serenity Prayer—"God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"—and Will Rogers’ words, "I never met a man I didn’t like, respect, or admire." These principles continue to shape both my life and my art.

Embrace the canvas of your imagination and let your creativity flow, for within you lies the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
