Elicia Graves

Elicia, a long time art lover, began her journey through photography shortly before she became a mother. She says, “I had always had an interest in art yet photography was the first medium where I felt my vision translate. I can’t draw a stick figure to save my life.” Drawn to black and white photography in particular, she has a very intimate, peaceful, and earnest style to her work. Her gear includes a Nikon D800 and three prime lenses, a 28mm, 35mm, and 85mm. Elicia lives in California with her husband and two daughters and enjoys running, reading, hiking, the beach, ice cream, the farmers market, and Anthropologie.
