By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American painter Alicia Drakiotes (born 1954 in Worcester, Massachusetts).

​

Alicia Drakiotes resides in the town of Marlborough, a rural community in Southwestern, New Hampshire, USA.  She studied Art / Journalism in a completed Visual Communications degree program at Keene State College (1987).  Her primary medium is oil painting, though she has worked in monotype and pastel mediums in the past.  When not busy in her studio or on location, she instructs art classes as an adjunct for New Hampshire Institute of Art in their Community Education department and also runs workshops for art organizations in the New England area.

After an early retirement Drakiotes sought her full-time artist career as a second career.  She devotes many hours in the surrounding communities hosting critique groups and networking for those art-inspired individuals who want to restart their art after years of traditional employment.  She has also coordinated a successful community exhibition venue with a local Historical Society which provides contemporary area artists the opportunity to show recent work based on local themes. 

Currently she is the featured artist at Sunflowers Restaurant & Catering, Main St, Jaffrey, NH where she has 21 new works in oil on display and available. 

Alicia has won awards for her works in Monotype, Oil and Pastel and has been juried into National and International exhibitions. She is one of several artists selected to illustrate a book titled "The Scenes and Seasons of a Small New England Village." Her most-recent honor is that she was selected as one of 16 recipients of the "2017 Ruth and James Ewing Award,"  a local award for outstanding art and culture in the community. She shared her award as Presenter of the Arts with the Historical Society of Cheshire County with whom the recent art exhibitions were collaborated.  

Alicia holds several Open Studio events throughout the year but her studio/gallery is available to interested persons by appointment or by chance.
