Creating To Live

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hello World! ... A little web development insider there. My name is Belicia Adams known as ilE. My childhood name did not follow me into my adult years but I was able to redefine Eli (myself) and introduce her to my new way of life. When I picked up art again, I struggled to know what to do with it. I created Paint22, a 501c3, for military families to enjoy art classes to help suicide prevention. I served in the Army and my family has served in many branches across the board. Bringing art to veterans was a purpose I fulfilled. The question I asked myself was ... NOW WHAT?

​

That is when I dove deep inside myself to create for joy. My work here is intended to bring light in homes, offices, event spaces and more. Most importantly I create as an outlet for self expression.  

​

I have a Bachelor Degree in Information Technology for Web Design and a Masters in Business from the University of Tampa.
