As Miss Alicia embodies her philosophy of teaching and life, she views art as a meditative process that goes beyond artistic skills. Through her teaching, Miss Alicia empowers children by boosting their self-esteem and self-respect, especially in a society where technology, bullying, and body image issues are prevalent. Miss Alicia believes in giving children the opportunity to create from their minds without relying on screens, fostering their imagination and originality. The creativity of the individual reigns supreme in her approach, which emphasizes self-expression, personal growth, and the development of self-esteem and self-respect.

Happy Industries Art Studio was founded by Miss Alicia and her son Lázaro in Boston in 2005 and expanded to New York in 2011. What started as a playful, imaginative game between a mother and son—envisioning an art factory at home where they painted after school—quickly blossomed into a thriving art project. Inspired by Lázaro's artistic talents and creative ideas, and fueled by the growing demand for Alicia's artwork, Happy Industries came to life.

Happy Industries Art Studio offers art classes to students of all ages, encompassing a wide range of artistic techniques and styles. These classes include drawing techniques, painting on canvas with acrylics, watercolor on professional paper, basic sculpting with clay figurines, and free play with art and recycled materials. The styles span realism, magic realism, surrealism, anime, manga, cartoons, comics, and fantasy art.

By request, Miss Alicia provides mentorship in art portfolio preparation and academic-level art studio and theory, free of charge, at the service of those who are truly passionate about art.

For assistance and guidance with art events or art classes in hospitals, shelters for children, foster family children, low-income families, international online drawing classes, noteworthy art events, and nonprofit events, text Miss Alicia—she will be delighted to support you.

Miss Alicia also teaches "100 Women Artists in Art History," starting from the cave painters of primal cultures. Research shows that girls and women were the original cave painters, illustrating animals, botanical scenes, and more with their own fingers and hands. Women are inherently artistic!
