About Me
Hi again, and welcome. I am Sara Alice Johnson, the artist and creator behind the Travelling Alice Instagram page. My artistic journey began with a handmade, screen-printed bag business called Travelling Alice, which I loved. However, in 2008, I had to stop making my bags due to health problems. I'm sharing this not for sympathy but to provide an understanding of how I arrived at where I am today and to inspire others to find new paths when faced with challenges.
My Artistic Journey
Back in 2008, my health problems led to brain and neck surgery. Recovery meant I couldn't move my neck for a while, making it impossible to bend over to sew or screen print, a condition that would not improve. Drawing had always been part of my creative process for designing new patterns and designs. I shifted to creating digital patterns and prints, which I loved, but spending long hours in front of a computer exacerbated my neck, back, and headaches.
Rediscovering My Passion for Abstract Art
Determined to continue drawing, I returned to pencil and paper, standing at an easel to alleviate pressure on my neck. Drawing has always been my passion, and I still cherish my first set of fancy Derwent pencils from childhood.
I pursued professional studies at the National Art School in Sydney, Australia, majoring in Sculpture with a minor in Photography. My formal education and lifelong love for art have shaped the work you see here today.
