Hi, my name is Alycia Baca and I am an Artist and Sculptress here in New Mexico. Always Believe, I had no idea I could paint. I have had no training in painting or sculpture. About two years ago a friend of mine said if you can sculpt you can paint. Always Believe, I believe God can surprise you at any time. My mother was a concert pianist and violinist and composer, and my father is an actor and singer and a retired fireman. I always felt like I had to have something coming from these talented people but for many years I felt almost like an outcast and I was always searching for that special job. What was I good at and why can’t I find it. Always Believe, I made my first sculpture a few years ago and my son is the one that said I was really good at sculpture. I thank God for letting me find something I can do. I also thank God for helping me to go through all those years of searching and feeling so alone. Sounds wrong but I have learned a lot. Always Believe, is my little tag I use with my signature and I hope it helps remind all of us that life is in motion and yes we all go through our own form of motion sickness and treatment centers and at times we are walking the plank, and then suddenly everything is great... If I had given up and taken my life, I would have missed out on this very moment in time. I believe God had me go through a lot so that the movements that are seen are clear and the emotions that are felt are controlled bringing out there true expression. Always Believe, in GOD and YOURSELF and don't forget you are in motion you may not feel it and it might seem that it just isn’t true but you really are and everything you experience is something to learn from and you might as well face it, you will always be riding the waves. ALWAYS BELIEVE, you never know what’s coming, have faith and learn from each experience. Just remember Always Believe.
