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.

Essence of Summer on Canvas

“The most important thing for me is not to look upon the landscape from above the Humans’ pedestal but to express exactly how I feel: I am one of them. We are together. We are oneness.”

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?

“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
