Alice studied Philosophy, graduating with a Bachelor of Humanities from the University of Adelaide. Shortly afterward, Alice completed a Bachelor of Design at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). After working as a theatre designer in Sydney, Alice returned to the University of Adelaide and completed a Masters of Museum Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Art History.
Alice works with paper, making textured and delicate collages from layers of painted paper as well as papercuts cut from single sheets of paper. When working on a collage, Alice paints cartridge paper beforehand, creating colours in a range of hues and tones. Next, Alice creates the collage by layering small pieces of painted paper on top of one another, cutting out shapes and arranging them to form the image before gluing them down. When making a papercut, Alice plans the image out on the back of a single sheet of paper before cutting it out using a scapel.
Alice's aesthetic draws on diverse influences, including mid-century illustration and design, folk art as well as early twentieth century art movements. Alice lives on Kaurna land, with her husband, two young children and two old-ish cats.
