"I am an abstract painter.  I use the language of paint to articulate the abstract thoughts and questions that drive my practice, which revolve around the illusive, shifting elements that define our humanity, particularly as we search for what that means in an increasingly globalized society."  Alice Case, September 2011

A Louisiana native, Alice Case received her MFA from the University of Washington in 2009 and has participated in a variety of solo and group shows throughout Seattle and Bellevue, showing at Phinner Center Gallery, SAM Gallery and Gage Academy of Fine Art, amongst others.  www.alicecase.com
