Where art heals —
and wonder breathes again.
Meet Alla Dickson.
Ever since Alla's family was relocated from a remote Soviet military base in Siberia to bustling Cairo when she was ten, she has been fascinated with discovering how art and creativity can evoke joy in our everyday life.
Her art could be bold, bright with strong texture, expressing the joy of life, or gentle, fluid and loose to respond to her philosophical and nostalgic nature.
Alla's passion for mastering and teaching the "Art of Living with Joy" philosophy now extends to sharing it with others through various mediums. From public speaking to art, blogs, and publications, Alla's work has become a vital contribution to the West Michigan community.
In 2023 her daughters Polina & Uliana joined Alla to bring her art into the home through their line of home goods available at local retailers, Etsy, on our website, and for wholesale.
Wildflower Meadow
Wildflowers has always been my primary subject matter. For many years I did not even realize that- I was just painting whatever inspired me that day, diving into the process fully possessed by the subconscious desire to capture the untamed nature. Was it my intuitive escape into my free and happy childhood? Perhaps.
Where Curiosity Becomes Inspiration
Step into a space where creativity is alive, and inspiration is contagious. One recent visitor shared how a simple curiosity about my journey—from leaving a full-time job to fully embracing a life of art—led to an unforgettable studio experience. They found not only peace and beauty, but a powerful reminder of what it means to live with purpose and courage. The visit sparked total joy and a renewed desire to bring more beauty into the world. If you're craving connection, creativity, or just a moment to breathe in something meaningful, I invite you to schedule your own studio visit. Who knows what dream it might awaken in you?

Escape to Fall
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
“I love creations of yours, Alla! It’s one thing to paint a picture, but you are able to recognize beauty, memorialize it, bring it to life, and share it with joy and reverence. That is true artistry.” -Susan
