Alicia Morales was born on March 18, 1950. At age thirteen she was taken to the Salon de la Plastica Mexicana by an uncle. At that moment she vowed to be included in this artistic group. Her family and her husband were quite traditional and did not believe women should have careers, but nonetheless, Morales did study theology and painting. She was tutored in watercolor at a professional level with Gustavo Alanis and was able to support her family when her husband fell ill.
She has worked in various media including painting, watercolor, and handmade artistic dresses. She also created artistic altars of sand, stone, vegetable and plant material. Her work has been exhibited in many venues. She is a member of the Salon de la Plastica Mexicana.

Following her divorce after 28 years, Morales worked with therapist Patricia Crast on graduate study of "healing art". She created a collection of 8 dresses representing the difficulties she has faced in her life. This collection has been displayed in several places across the world. The picture below is of Alicia Morales in one of her hand embroidered dresses.
