ABOUT ALICE
I’m a Florida-based paint carving artist with a passion for wildflowers, wildlife, and the stories we carry from the land we love. Each piece is carved by hand—layered with paint, shaped with intention, and rooted in the natural beauty of the Sunshine State. From original works to fine art prints, everything I create is meant to bring a little more wonder (and a lot more texture) into your world.

From the Folks Who’ve Taken One Home
Alice’s paint carvings are truly unlike anything else I’ve seen. I was immediately drawn to the dimension, the movement, and the way the carved lines create shadows. The quality is exceptional. You can feel the care in every detail. It’s rare to find work that feels both grounded and elevated at the same time. I’m proud to be one of her collectors and can’t wait to see what she creates next.

I bought a paint carving from Alice as a gift for my wife, and it was hands-down the best decision. The piece is absolutely stunning in person. The texture, the detail, the way it plays with light. It has a quiet kind of magic to it. My wife was completely speechless when she unwrapped it. If you're looking for a meaningful gift that truly feels personal, this is it.
DON
I commissioned a paint carving from Alice, and the entire experience was a joy from start to finish. She took the story I wanted to tell, added her signature style, and carved something that felt both deeply personal and museum-worthy. The texture, the color, the presence of the piece is unlike anything else I own. It doesn’t just hang on the wall—it lives there. Alice is a true artist, and I already know this won’t be my last commission.
AUSTIN
I fell in love with Alice Absolutely’s work the first time I saw it on Instagram, but nothing prepared me for how powerful it would feel in person. The depth, the texture, and the craftsmanship is more than art, it’s a soul in the room. It’s the kind of piece you want to walk up to, lean in, and run your fingers across (though I don’t let anyone!). There’s just nothing else like it and I’m proud to have it as part of my home.

Alice has a rare talent in that she makes Florida feel sacred again. In a world moving too fast, her hand-carved artwork reminds us that beauty still lives in the slow, the textured, and the deeply rooted. While so much of the art world chases trends, Alice brings us back to craft, place, and purpose. Her work is as important as it is lovely. She’s reshaping the way we think about nature, storytelling, and what it means to truly see the world around us.
GEORGE

FAQS
How do I purchase a piece, and what formats are available?
Alice Absolutely’s paint carvings are sold as original works only. Because each piece is hand-carved and full of rich texture, no print could ever do it justice. The depth, shadows, and tactile detail simply don’t translate on paper—and that’s part of what makes these pieces so special. You can browse available originals right here on the shop page. When you find one that feels like it belongs with you, just follow the checkout process to claim it. Private consultations are also available if you’d like help choosing the right piece or prefer a more personal experience.
Can I commission a custom paint carving?
Yes, there are a limited number of custom commissions available each year. Whether it’s a native plant that holds personal meaning or a species that reminds you of home, Alice is happy to create something just for you. She will chat with you about your vision, color preferences, and where the piece will live so she can carve something that feels like it’s always belonged to you. Custom work takes time and heart, so let’s make sure it’s the right fit—reach out anytime to start the conversation.
What is paint carving?
Paint carving is a niche technique where thick layers of acrylic paint are built up, then carved by hand to create lines, shapes, and shadows—almost like low-relief sculpture. It’s not painting in the traditional sense, and it’s definitely not flat. Every groove and ridge is carved, not brushed, giving the piece depth you can see and feel. This process takes time, patience, and a steady hand. But that’s the beauty of it—each piece is one-of-a-kind, rich with texture, and full of story. It’s art that invites you to lean in and look closer.
