Professional Artist since 1992, Teacher since 1998 and Art Teacher at Hillside since 2011. My name is Alicia Higgins-Kinane and this is my twelfth year at Hillside School. I have a Bachelor of Fine Art from St. Mary's College in South Bend and a Masters of Art in Teaching from National Louis University. I create paintings, drawings, collages, metal and wood sculptures and fabric wall hangings.
