Touched by the mystery and beauty of plants, animals, the sky, wind, and the ocean Alice Garik is inspired to explore and create.  Her passion for the natural world moves her to explore our deep historical relationship.  Her work responds to concerns about ecological devastation due to global warming.

Alice’s approach is the celebration of our humanity via photographs of our tattoos. Discovering the connections of our tattoos with earth’s creatures, historically and in myths, gives meaning to her collages.  Her art work crosses the boundaries between photography, painting and collage. She uses the alternative printing process of palladium along with analog image-making.

Recently, Alice exhibited one of her tattoo and nature palladium collages at “Tattooed New-York”, an exhibit at The New-York Historical Society in Manhattan. The Brooklyn Museum collected her Vermont landscape palladium pieces. The New York Public Library holds her photographs of dancer and choreographer, Neil Greenberg, in their collection.

Her art has been selected for use on the sets of the movies “Eat, Pray, Love” and “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” and displayed as part of the set for “Gossip Girls”.

Alice has produced commissioned art works for “Orion Magazine”, “Dance Ink”, Bergdorf Goodman and for book covers for publishers Penguin, Random House and others.

Besides exhibitions in the states, Ms Garik has exhibited in Berlin, Germany and in Sydney, Australia.

Alice Garik lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
