Director & Curator
Alicia grew up in St. Ives and its art tradition, where her parents ran the arts festival in the 70s and early 80s.
Following a career teaching Ancient Greek, Latin and Classical Art History, Alicia returned to Oxford University to undertake a PHD in History of Art, where she was awarded the Georgina Horlix Memorial Award and a Wolfson Foundation Reward.
After a brief spell as a sponsored Ironman triathlete and ultrarunner, she decided to open her first art gallery, Far & Wild Perranporth in 2018, later followed by Livingstone St. Ives in 2020.
She has three young children and still plans to finish her PHD one day.

Octi has an MA in History of Art from the University of Bristol. Her first degree was in Classical Studies, with a special interest in visual culture.
