Good Morning, SITP family!

We are so honored to share the fantastic works of the stunning Alicia Jones.

Born in North Dakota in 1979, Alicia Jones grew up in the rugged landscapes of southern Colorado after her family made a bold move at the age of four—arriving in a horse-drawn wagon. This unique and formative experience, along with spending countless hours immersed in nature, profoundly shaped Alicia’s artistic perspective. The wide-open spaces, desert vistas, and wildlife of the American Southwest continue to inform her work to this day, merging her deep love for the outdoors with a nuanced exploration of the human condition.

Alicia’s academic journey began at Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in both art and art education. She later pursued a master’s degree in art with an emphasis on sculpture, solidifying her technical and conceptual approach to her craft. Over the past 15 years, Alicia has been dedicated to her artistic practice, balancing various creative projects before transitioning into her full-time career as a working sculptor. This shift allows her to immerse herself fully in her studio practice and the development of new work.
Currently based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Alicia’s art reflects both her rural upbringing and her deep connection to the natural world. Her sculpture has been displayed in several public art programs, with pieces featured in parks and streetscapes, inviting the community to engage with her art in everyday spaces. Notably, she created a large-scale installation for the Creede Repertory Theater, where her work transformed the theater’s space and narrative.

Inspired by the natural world, Alicia spends much of her time outdoors—hiking, exploring, and observing the landscapes and wildlife that inform her art. At the same time, her work is deeply personal, drawing from her inner emotional landscape to express her thoughts, experiences, and reflections on the world around her.

Today, Alicia is fully immersed in her practice, creating evocative sculptures that challenge the viewer to explore their own emotional connections to nature, humanity, and the world. Her work continues to evolve, shaped by both her experiences in the Southwest and her ongoing connection to the natural environment.

Art has a unique ability to connect people across different cultures and languages. It serves as a medium for self-expression, allowing individuals to communicate emotions and ideas that words may fail to capture.

Art provokes thought, inspires change, and encourages others. Art challenges established norms and fosters understanding. Through various forms—such as painting, sculpture, or music—art enhances our lives, providing comfort, joy, and a deeper insight into human experiences.
Its impact is significant, as it not only reflects society but also has the potential to influence it, making art a vital part of cultural and personal growth.

We are so honored to share the works of the masterful and so very talented Nnamdi Okonkwo Sculptures. You can view his piece "They Are Waiting" at Benson Sculpture Garden #83.

A little more on Nnamdi:

"I was born in Eastern Nigeria in 1965. I am the first of three sons. I currently reside in Fayetteville, Georgia with my wife and three children.

As far back as I can remember I have always been drawn to art. Later on, I realized that my artistic sensibilities were best expressed in the three-dimensional art of sculpture. Around this same time I was introduced to basketball, which suited me well as I am six feet nine inches tall. After obtaining a Degree in painting in Nigeria, basketball became the avenue for me to come to the United States. I was recruited by BYU-Hawaii where I played from 1989-1993 and graduated with a BFA in Sculpture.

Immediately after that, I enrolled in the graduate program at BYU-Provo where I received an MFA degree in sculpture in 1997. While going to school in Provo, I met and married my wife, Deidra, who is from Idaho and graduated in 1996 with a Master of Accountancy.

I now work full time out of my studio in Fayetteville. My work is represented in galleries across the country, and my large-scale monumental work can be seen in individual and public sculpture gardens as well."
