Alicia Philley

Alicia Philley (born Dallas, 1972) is an Austin-based multimedia artist illuminating connections between community building and climate healing. She completed the BFA program in painting at Hunter College, NYC, (2005) and earned a BA in journalism from Southern Methodist University, Dallas, (1995).

In the past few years, Philley has held solo shows of her paintings, sculptures and digital mixed media work at the Dougherty Arts Center, the 14th Contemporary Eco Museum, and most recently at the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve. She’s created site-specific installations funded by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the LBJ Ranch & National Historic Park, as well as a collaborative, projection-mapped, 3D animation through a City of San Marcos Arts Commission grant.

Her ongoing projects include founder and studio residency director of the Artist Parents & Caregivers Community; project manager for the annual San Marcos Studio Tour; and volunteer/artist advocate for the Native Prairies Association of Texas. In September 2025, Philley will travel to Newfoundland, Canada for a month-long eco artist residency with the Pouch Cove Foundation.
