Alice Herrick’s work involves drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, film and performance. A life long Londoner, Alice relocated to Margate in 2023 to join the town's thriving art community and fulfil her dream of living by the sea.
Current projects include Artist Portraits, an ongoing series of pencil and ink portraits of historic and contemporary female artists; and The World is Your Oyster, an ongoing series of imagined faces painted onto found oyster shells.
