about



    Alicia Krupsky (BFA Film, School of Visual Arts; currently BFA Art Education, UW Milwaukee) is an artist and filmmaker based in Milwaukee, WI. Her work explores existential themes in high-contrast realism, pulling in fandom, subculture, and historical iconography as discoverable easter eggs. Her work is both high-brow and low-brow, approachable and mysterious. She works in print and film, combining painting, drawing, and film into one practice. 
    Alicia spends her free time scavenging the internet for music, watching Star Trek, djing in her room, and going to fairs with friends. She lives with 1 cat dragon named Honey and a baby werewolf named Houdini.
