Artwork Description

In my previous life as a vintage merchant I amassed a very large collection of vintage fabrics from all eras. I absolutely adore the designs of these old fabrics so am enjoying including them in the backgrounds of my still life paintings.

This banksia flower I found in St Kilda, Melbourne insisted I added some retro 1960/70's fabric designs behind it - I agree they go perfectly, along with the little 70's vase it sits in.

Painted in my mountain studio in Olinda, Victoria

Artist Bio

Bachelor of Fine Art - Monash Uni. (B.A. Fine Art)
Diploma Education - Victoria College (Dip. Ed.)
Alicia Cornwell is a Melbourne-based artist working from her home studio in Olinda, Victoria — a 100-year-old house nestled among the historic gardens and lush landscapes of the Dandenong Ranges. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art in Printmaking and Painting (Caulfield Institute of Technology – Monash University, 1985) and a Graduate Diploma in Art Education (Victoria College, Burwood, 1987).

Specialising in contemporary still life, Alicia works primarily in oils. Her compositions are a graceful fusion of natural elements and vintage design — a reflection of her many years in the antiques and interiors industry. Her paintings range from bold and vibrant to soft and pastel-toned, always with a focus on structure, layered glazes, and fine detail.

Deeply inspired by the changing seasons and the surrounding national parks, Alicia’s work captures both the serenity and richness of her environment. Her art has been exhibited and collected across Australia and internationally, and she is proudly represented by a number of galleries nationwide.
