"Every possibility begins with the courage to imagine"

Twisted Moon Studios is the result of nearly fifteen years of daydreaming, late‑night learning, spilled paint, crumpled paper, broken crayons, and the quiet reminder that we live with what we create—and that creation can be beautiful. What began as a spark has grown into a space where art, community, and belonging meet.

​

Alicia Holman, the owner and artist behind Twisted Moon, started as a self‑taught kid with a camera in one hand and a sketchbook in the other. She posed younger family members as models, copied the sides of Disney VHS tapes to practice drawing, and chased every creative impulse she could find. After college, a life‑altering moment led her to the doors of an art center serving adults with special and different needs. That year changed everything. It showed her that art isn’t just something we make—it’s something that transforms us.

​

From camp counselor to art teacher, private tutor to homeschool mom, every step of Alicia’s journey pulled her closer to the dream of building a studio of her own. Along the way, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and an Associate’s degree in Art, a combination that fuels her belief that creativity builds connection, confidence, and community. Today, she serves on the Oconee Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Committee, the Watkinsville Public Arts Committee, and the SHARE Board Human Rights Committee, and she volunteers throughout Walton, Oconee, and Athens‑Clarke counties. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her at a baseball field, exploring new towns, or hunting down obscure, off‑the‑map places that spark her imagination.

​

Twisted Moon Studios is the place where all of that—art, advocacy, curiosity, and heart—comes together. Here, we believe everyone deserves to feel their worth as an artist. Whether you’re a budding creator or a hidden Monet, the act of making something with your own hands breathes life into the soul.

 

Our mission is simple: to bring the opportunity to learn, make, create, and fall in love with art to our community.
