Inspired by midcentury design and illustration, Alicia Groff creates blithesome work to spark joy through the utilization of shape and bright colors. Alicia’s thesis consists of a children’s book centered around a personified dumpling and other stuffed cuisines. Her book, Sesame, reflects her experience as an adopted Asian-American raised in Central PA. At PCA&D, Alicia channeled her passion for fostering personal connections in her role as a student admissions ambassador, and as the art market coordinator. After graduation, Alicia hopes to continue to make a positive impact on those around her through everything she creates.
