When you first see an Alicia LaChance painting you are mystified by its fresh effortless beauty. When you meet Alicia in person, you are struck with that same mystification. Besides being one of St. Louis most sought after female artists, Alicia coowns Hoffman Lachance Contemporary Gallery in Maplewood on Sutton. HLC showcases “Midwestern gems that are maybe a diamond in the rough or perhaps a treasure not yet on people’s radar,” Alicia boosts. As a gallery owner she hopes “people can walk away with a knowledge that these makers of things are the real deal – dedicated and gifted”. She’s currently represented nationally: in Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Naples, and is working with a publisher in London. “It took time to develop these relationships,” Alicia mentions. “Having these people give you their time and space and effort….. so when they agreed, if not with my children, I found myself in the studio around the clock”. If you are looking for a mentor in the art industry and self promotions, you might want to start following and listening to every move she makes. Alicia is, in factdoing, what many artists, and all people for that matter, long for, making a full time living doing what she loves.
Rapper Jim Jones pleads guilty to NYC assault

Jones pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in his Dec. 22 dustup with Jayvon Smith in the luxury-goods retailer’s Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan. Jones, 33, was sentenced to time served — the few hours he was in custody after turning himself in to police in January.
The fight unfolded in front of holiday shoppers in the store, which sits opposite Tiffany’s flagship on Fifty-Seventh Street.
Defense lawyer Scott Leemon had previously said Jones didn’t start the fight. Leemon said Monday the rapper pleaded guilty because he didn’t want to risk probation — and potential touring restrictions — if convicted.
Leemon declined to comment on what started the fight. Ne-Yo told the Los Angeles-based radio station Power 106 in February that Jones and Smith “have had drama in the past.” Read the rest of this entry »
