Watercolor Artist, Alicia Betz

I'm so glad you're here! Thank you for your interest in watercolor artistry. No matter the occasion, I'd love to help celebrate your story!

All of my artwork is painted by hand, paint to paper, and then scanned and digitized so I can help you print it on meaningful details. As you take a look around, think about the people, places, and pets who mean everything to you and let's celebrate the joy they've added to your life!

Welcome

Hello! I'm Alicia, a watercolor artist based in Alexandria, Virginia. My business started when I wanted to create thoughtful welcome gifts that told the story of a location. Over the years, those gifts have taken on new form as I paint the details that are a part of your story. My love and talent for watercolor painting allow me to create special heirlooms that celebrate your life and those dearest to you. I believe the items we gift and choose to surround ourselves with should be meaningful, purposeful, aesthetically pleasing, and joy-filled. Whether it's a watercolor wedding crest, pet portrait, or map, I hope to create something you'll cherish for a lifetime!

Semi-Custom
watercolor crests

Every detail was painted by hand and designed with you in mind. I created these to serve couples who want an elegant wedding logo that sets the tone of their wedding day without personalized icons or the time it takes to create a custom piece.

These crests are tailored to you with your choice of shield and banner color, banner text, and monogram.

SEE THE COLLECTION

"Alicia is so easy to work with and once we explained our vision for our crest, she made it come to life. Alicia is so responsive and on top of things--we always knew where our project's progress stood and expectations were clear. And her work is so beautiful! Our families love the crest, as do we!"

Naina & Josh

"Alicia's designs blew my expectations out of the water. Her creativity and attention to detail is amazing, and our crest has quickly become our favorite wedding detail. Alicia has helped us find ways to incorporate our crest into details that we will forever cherish. I am so thankful that we found her and definitely encourage others to use Alicia's services in the future!"

Megan & Connor

"Alicia's portrait of my pup, Hoover, was the star of the welcome table at our wedding reception. Since Hoover could not physically be at the party, Alicia painted a beautiful likeness of him sitting outside the venue, welcoming our guests inside. Alicia even incorporated the color palette for the wedding, and captured the little sparkle in Hoover's eye for a portrait that will be hanging in our home for years to come. Thank you for creating this memory of our sweet boy!"
