Hello there!

My name is Alicia, also known as Alicia Monai. I am a full-time artist and paint party host, writer and student studying two different programs in Biblical Studies. I am a lover of all things creative and have a strong desire to serve God and my community with my creative gifts, including building a accessible art therapy/creative program for children and adults. I want to bring art to those who desire to find their creative voice and provide a space where they can engage and encourage others in their creative journey.

My heart's cry is to continue honoring and serving God with my artistry and follow His call over my life as an artist and writer. This summer, I had the amazing privilege of starting an art camp/program in my home studio for families in need of summer activities for their children. I want to continue this program for children currently being home-schooled, as well as an after-school program for children in my area.

At this time, I am being evicted and need a place to go. It has been a challenge finding part-time work to sustain basic needs, and I currently to do not have a vehicle to get around. I travel to different venues to host paint parties for clients, as well as babysit for different families I've connected with during my time in Georgia. This help has been provided by kind people who have been willing to help me get to where I need to be, which I am so grateful for.

My goal here is to raise money to assist in finding a new home, but to focus on my studies and art making to finish what God has asked of me, sharing and spreading the gospel through painting and poetry and bringing the creative outlets to others. The next step in the journey is to obtain a larger studio for my art business that can be open to the public, but I can't do it without your help and support.

Anything you can contribute would be a huge blessing! Thank you so much for considering this, and I pray a special blessing over each and every one of you. If you would prefer to give to my CashApp or Venmo, I will leave them below. I will also link my social media to those who'd wish to connect.

God bless you!
