Alicia Aberdeen-Jones is a multifaceted artist and entrepreneur, renowned as the founder and co-owner of Alicia Aberdeen Art, LLC, a creative venture she established with her husband, Jonathan, combining their professional expertise in finance, accounting, and contract management. While her corporate background ensures her shrewdness in business, Alicia is the creative engine of the company—an accomplished artist and an inspiring educator. Born in Trinidad, Alicia moved to New York City in 2002, leaving behind a corporate career to pursue her artistic passions in 2009. Starting with an internship at The Brownstone in Harlem, she began to immerse herself in the art world, honing her business acumen while nurturing her creative talents. Alicia later worked at a Cisco Partner, where she served in management for five years, all while continuing her artistic journey. Her first public exhibit took place in 2005 at the Trinidad and Tobago Consulate in New York City, where she was the sole female artist featured among six Caribbean creatives. The positive reception of her work led to numerous commissions, including her first major piece, "De Dance," a three-panel artwork inspired by Ernie Barnes' "Sugar Shack," tailored specifically to a client's vision. Mrs. Aberdeen-Jones' artistic style is immensely versatile, embracing various media—from 2D animation and special effects to painting and mixed media. She stands out not only as an artist but also as an experimental storyteller, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of expression, which even extends to voice acting. Over the years, Alicia has enjoyed several exhibitions, including her powerful portrait, "Nina Speaks," which honors the legendary Nina Simone. This 24-carat gold-fused piece was featured in "The Nina Simone Experience" in Atlanta and caught the attention of Simone's daughter, Lisa ‘Simone' Kelly, earning her the YGB [Young Black and Gifted] Award. A devoted mother, Mrs. Aberdeen-Jones welcomed her daughter, Zoe, in 2011, shortly after earning her Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts and Animation. She began teaching art at a Catholic school and continued to build her portfolio, frequently showcasing her work across galleries and events in New York. Notable moments in her career include being a featured artist at the Van de Plas Gallery in 2018 and hosting various paint nights throughout the year. Her first solo show, "Paintings In The Garden," debuted in September 2019 and celebrated its successful sixth installment in December 2024, garnering a Proclamation from NY Senator Kevin S. Parker, Chairman of Committee on Energy and Telecommunications, in recognition of her contributions. Her passion lies in helping seniors and homeless people, and to that her advocacy is for the following organizations: Coalition For The Homeless-NYC + Serenity Empowerment Rehab Center for Women in Trinidad.
