Alice Conniff (aka Ace) is multi-disciplinary artist living in Canmore, AB. She finds inspiration in nature’s rhythms and patterns and by taking advantage of the many recreational opportunities available living in the Canadian Rockies. 

Her artistic journey is deeply intertwined with the rich tapestry of life experiences, nurturing an innate connection to nature, the environment, motherhood and people. 

Alice creates artwork using acrylic paint, pen and ink and digital media and found materials.  She uses a vibrant colour palette to captivate the viewer. 

Alice has a BA(Hons) in Applied Art. 

Recent landscape paintings have been inspired by shifting light, which plays a crucial role in how we perceive the world around us. It alters the colors, textures, and atmosphere of a landscape, reminding us that our environment is constantly in flux. This ever-changing light mirrors the transient nature of life itself. In this way, Alice's work connects to the bigger picture of how we all belong together, part of an interconnected world that is constantly shifting and evolving. These shifts—whether in nature or in our own lives—serve as reminders of our shared experience, grounding us in the present while also linking us to the past and future.

Through creating negative space and window-like openings Alice invites the viewer to enter into the image, creating a shared experience and sense of place.
