Meet Alicia from Time Worn Style

Hello and so nice to meet you! My name is Alicia and I am the lady behind Time Worn Style. I am a Mum, Artist and Antiques Dealer.

Its been so exciting meeting wonderful people through my website http://www.timewornstyle.com/ and via my ebay auctions So I thought it was time to introduce myself to everyone else! After selling my items on ebay for over four years, I now have a special website of my own too.




For as long as I can remember I have always loved to paint and create, starting with little drawings at home to spending many years of study at University in Painting, Sculpture, Drawing and Printmaking (not to mention another year of teacher training!). To me starting up my website has been a natural progression of this that has allowed me to do what I love alongside spending time with the people I love.


I work from home sharing an early 1900's house with my husband and three girls on our property on Mt Dandenong, Australia. My husband is my greatest support and inspiration, I really feel blessed to have found him!

We live in a beautiful part of Victoria high on a mountain. Each year we look forward to the brilliant colours of Autumn, a blanket of snow in Winter, fields of flowering bulbs in spring, and hot summer days.
My husband is an officer in our local Country Fire Authority (CFA) so we are always mindful of the potential bushfire dangers each summer. Wouldn't trade it all for quids though!






Lucky me, I now have a lovely studio up here to work in so I plan on filling my website up with lots of paintings and creations very soon! I do love to paint and mostly work in oils but have found many other mediums that I enjoy working in too such as French Chalk.
Most of my work is inspired by Antique and Vintage works of art, I collect old frames and use these to compliment my paintings. Currently I only sell original one off art works that wont be found anywhere else!





Sharing our home with us is quite a menagerie of animals. My little helper in the garden Genevieve, is great company. You may notice that most of us here do love dogs!!

So that's me!
Will leave you with a selection of some
of my own personal painting favourites, thanks for visiting!
