THE STORY
MEET ALICIA BUCKNOR
The Royal Artist
Artist. Author. Creative Director. Founder. Mother. Visionary.
I have always believed that there is more inside us than the world can see. Art became one of the ways I learned to discover that.
My creative journey has moved through fashion, illustration, publishing, fine art, entrepreneurship, motherhood and community. But underneath all of those expressions has been the same question:
What happens when we give ourselves permission to become who we were created to be?
That question became the foundation of my work.
FROM ARTIST TO EXPERIENCE CREATOR
For years, my work lived primarily on the canvas. Then I began asking:
What if the audience could enter the artwork?
What if people could colour it?
What if they could become it?
What if a wedding could become an art experience?
What if a corporate event could become a creative connection experience?
What if a museum could become a place where people didn’t just observe—but create?
That question led to The Art in Me™ Experiences.
The royal artist
“Royal” has always represented something deeper to me than status.
It is about recognizing the inherent value within ourselves and others.
It is about learning to see beauty beyond what is immediately visible. It is about discovering your inner crown. And ultimately:
Discovering the masterpiece within.
THE CREATIVE PRACTICE
Today my work exists across:
FINE ART. FASHION ART. PORTRAITURE. CREATIVE DIRECTION
PUBLISHING. EXPERIENTIAL ART. CREATIVE WELLNESS. COMMUNITY.
I am interested in what happens when these worlds collide. Because creativity was never meant to live in a box.

The greatest masterpiece is not the artwork.
To create a world where homes feel sacred, families feel honoured, and beauty becomes a language of emotional legacy.

I believe art should restore dignity.
I believe beauty should carry meaning.
I believe family is a living legacy.
I believe every person carries a quiet royalty within them.
It’s you.
