About the artist

Aliccia Brooke Braaten is from Swan Valley, Idaho, a small town about fifty miles from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but currently lives in Lake Havasu City. She is married to her best friend and has four kids and two grandkids. Aliccia is a full-time MCC student and involved in several student organizations including president of the Student Art League, vice-president/secretary of the Student Activities Council, vice-president of the Veterans Club, and a member of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa. She will transfer to Northern Arizona University once she graduates in Spring 2023. She will be working towards a degree in social behavioral sciences with the goal of becoming a counselor.

Aliccia loves MCC and attending college because it helps her feel younger than she is. The school has changed her life and she notes that this piece was a gift to Dr. Maria Ayon, the Lake Havasu City Dean of Student and Community Engagement, in honor of her beauty as a person and her love of the students and staff.
