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.

Alla's Story

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.”

“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
