Alice Meichi Li [李美姿] was born at dawn one fine August morning to Chinese immigrant parents who stereotypically ran a restaurant. She not-so-stereotypically grew up in a crime-ridden Detroit neighborhood, nursed on cultural-identity confusion and comics. Her escapism into art and disregard for being a good Asian daughter drove her extrication to New York City in order to become a professional purveyor of visual works for the delight and spectacle of all.

True to her namesake, Alice ponders Curiouser Things and proceeds to ensnare them within the confines of her canvas. Her art has been seen on the walls of museums and galleries, album covers, book covers, comic anthologies, magazines, and more. She earned her BFA at School of Visual Arts, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
