Alicia 'Leash' Holtz

I am an artist whose work is rooted in graphic design, photo manipulation, and illustration, but my curiosity rarely allows me to stay within the boundaries of one medium. I am constantly exploring new forms of creative expression—from sculpture and web design to prop and costume construction—always looking for new ways to transform an idea into something tangible.

Graduated from California State University, Long Beach, with a B.A. in Studio Art/Graphic Design. Today, I work as a full-time Senior Graphic Designer while continuing to pursue freelance work and personal creative projects. At heart, I am a well-rounded artist and lifelong learner, driven by the desire to understand, experiment, and create.

Exploring different forms of art has shaped the way I see the world and approach creativity. Each medium offers a different way of thinking, problem-solving, and storytelling. Experimentation has allowed me to discover unexpected techniques, challenge my own creative boundaries, and approach familiar ideas from new perspectives.

For me, art is not limited to a single discipline or process. It is an ongoing exploration—one that encourages curiosity, embraces experimentation, and pushes me to be more thoughtful, imaginative, and daring with every project.
