We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alicia Wolfe. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alicia below.

Alicia, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?

Growing up, I was always drawn to anything artistic. My favorite subjects in school were always the ones where I could express myself creatively whether it was writing poetry, singing in choir, or painting in art class. I remember when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d say I wanted to be a photographer on the beaches of Hawaii, probably because I’ve always been drawn to the ocean and the feeling of peace it brings. But the moment I truly realized I wanted to pursue a creative path professionally came after high school, when I started college.

College opened up my world in a new way. I was curious and eager to learn what it really meant to have a creative career. Initially I was interested in music production, which eventually led me to explore video production. That journey slowly brought me back to my first love, photography. As I got closer to graduation, I decided to take a jewelry class just out of interest, and unexpectedly, it introduced me to a whole new form of expression that I connected with deeply.

Looking back, my path has always been shaped by following what feels aligned and meaningful in the moment, and through that, I’ve found a multidisciplinary practice that’s rooted in expression, curiosity, and connection.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’m Alicia, a first generation Mexican American artist working across photography, jewelry, and other artistic mediums. I create under ‘God Sent Visualz’ for my photography and ‘Amor Divina’ for my handmade jewelry, both born from a need to express myself creatively and spiritually.

Art has always been a part of my life in one form or another. I’ve always created intuitively, allowing both emotion and lived experiences to guide my process. Attending college greatly impacted my perspective on pursuing a creative career and helped me refine my skills through courses in studio lighting and jewelry making. Now, my work blends instinct with technique, always rooted in intention and care.

With God Sent Visualz, I offer creative direction and conceptual photography, from set designs to brand visuals and portraits. With Amor Divina, I sell one-of-a-kind soldered jewelry through Etsy and at local art markets.

My spirituality is at the heart of everything I do. I believe God has guided my path, and that shows up in how I create and connect. Whether through images or jewelry, my goal is always to make others feel seen, held, and empowered.

What truly sets my work apart is the heart and intention I bring to every piece and project. This spiritual foundation isn’t just a part of my process, it’s something clients and community genuinely feel. I’ve been deeply honored to hear from people who say my photography has helped them heal insecurities and embrace their own beauty. Similarly, those who wear my jewelry often share how the pieces make them feel confident and empowered.

I’m most proud of the authenticity in my work, it reflects all of who I am, both as an artist and a person. Sharing that without fear or reservation is a gift I treasure. Above all, I want my clients, followers, and fans to know how much love and gratitude I have for their support. When they support my work, they’re supporting a dream, and that connection means everything to me.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

At the end of last year, I was in a car accident that changed everything for me. For the first time in my life, I was faced with real physical pain and limitation. I was on bed rest for weeks, unable to move the way I was used to, unable to create, and for a while, unable to imagine what my future would look like. I felt lost, disconnected, and honestly, scared. So much of my identity had been wrapped in what I could do, and with everything paused, I had no choice but to listen to the quiet and let it reshape me.

That stillness broke me open in ways I didn’t expect. It brought me face to face with myself, my fears, my doubt, and my faith. In that quiet, I leaned into God more than ever before. I prayed, I cried, I surrendered and slowly, I began to feel held. Not by my own strength, but by something bigger. Through that process, I started to see my creative path differently, not as something to chase, but something to honor.

When I finally started creating again, it wasn’t from the same place. It felt more grounded, more intentional, more connected to the why behind my art. That experience taught me that even in moments of pain and uncertainty, there is beauty waiting to be revealed. It reminded me that my creativity is not just a skill, but a calling, one that can grow through surrender, faith, and deep transformation.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.

One thing I think non-creatives might struggle to understand is that choosing a creative path isn’t just about “doing what you love” it’s about answering something deeply personal. It’s not the easy path, and it rarely comes with clear steps or guarantees. But for many of us, it’s the most honest way we know how to exist in the world.

For me, one of the more complicated parts of the journey has been learning to navigate the differences between my own creative path and the values I was raised with. Much of my family grew up in very traditional environments where stability and hard work were closely tied to conventional jobs things that offered structure, security, and a clear sense of success. And while I know their perspective comes from love and lived experience, it hasn’t always aligned with the creative career I’ve chosen to pursue.

What I wish more people understood is that choosing a creative life is still work, emotional, spiritual, and often invisible work. It takes resilience to keep showing up without certainty, to believe in your vision before it fully takes form. I’m not chasing a hobby, I’m building a life rooted in purpose, one that allows me to express who I am and hopefully offer something meaningful to others along the way.
