Meet Monica of Lemon Zesty
Lemon Zesty's goal is to focus on “fresh art with a sour twist.” Their goal as an artist is to chronicle the absurdity and weirdness of everyday life while honoring all its messy, awesome and perplexing facets.

Before starting Lemon Zesty, Alicia was an Emmy-nominated TV producer. In 2012, while filming in the Amazon, she almost died in a terrible boat accident.
During the long recovery from multiple surgeries, she started painting and drawing as an escape. Alicia credits this passion and their dark sense of humor for getting them through a difficult and painful recovery. Once she had recovered from her injuries, she realized that she didn’t want to give up the creative outlet she had found.
Working in watercolor, pen and ink, gouache, and marker, her work could best be described as “visual sarcasm.”
