ALICE'S LOOKING GLASS

Hi, I'm Alice

I work glass backwards

I work glass backwards

Why USA? 

I create these backwards glassworks under the signature "Alice USA," something I started as a kid - dropping the first and last letter 

of my last name, hUSAk. 


There's a lot to explore in the middle - 

discovering joy in process. 


When not painting backward, 

I move (mostly) forward 

in and out of my love city, 

Richmond, VA

I paint in layers on one side of glass 

and view the picture from the other side.


The image is painted backwards and inside-out. 

All on glass. 


Foreground details are painted first 

and the background comes last 

(example, above). 

I look for lit layers

Between dozens of layers of paint, I mix light interference pigments  -- a surprise waiting to be discovered. 


Introducing light to the surface of these pieces is crucial or you're missing half the fun.
