I am an artist who weaves tales by combining both words and images. Each book I create, whether fact or fiction, poetry or prose, is fashioned in a specific visual and textual manner to evoke the sense of a particular moment in my life. The results are works that stand apart from one another in both form and content, each one as individual and unique as the moment it represents.

Alice Vinson is a photographer, printmaker, writer, and book artist. In 2007 she received both an Associates degree in Fine Arts and Liberal Arts from Pima Community College, Tucson , AZ. She is currently pursuing her BFA in Studio Art at the University of Arizona. Her work has been exhibited both regionally and nationally, and can be found in both public and private collections across the US and Japan, including both the Center for Creative Photography and University of Arizona Library Special Collection.
