A Ghost In The Studio

Collage & Mixed Media by Alicia Byler


How many paintings are about your sister?

Only all of them.

Only, now thinking about it these nearly twenty-seven years, perhaps not about her, but about her death.

So the paintings are about death?

Yes, Death. And Life. And the fact that they are Lovers.

I'm thrilled to have been invited as one of six featured Guest Artists to show work in the exhibition MIXED at Lancaster Art Vault October 3 - November 29, 2025.

Many thanks to the Joseph Robert Foundation for their generous support of my participation in this exhibition by way of a 2025 artist grant. This show will highlight 18 collage & mixed media pieces from my latest series Haunted (Doll)house.

Announcing the Second Annual 717 Squared community exhibit at Third Story Art. Small works from 93 local artists are available for sale including my piece Strangers on a Train. “With media and themes as varied as the artists themselves, this show offers a little something for everyone”. Open through December 20, 2025.
