, 10, dreamed of one day traveling to Paris to study art and, eventually, seeing her own work displayed in French museums and highlighted in art instillations.
"She made Pizza Girl, whose outfit was made out of pizza," Hernandez explained."She made Super Colorado-Girl, with mountains as her outfit. She also made characters with big eyes. She said that she wanted to make a comic book based off of her own characters — she was really proud of them. Really proud of them."

"Seeing her art there — it made me happy but it also made me sad," said Alithia's mom, who received a private tour of the exhibit a day before it opened to the public."I wanted to see her — how happy she would be when people see her art. I wanted to be by her side, and knowing that she's not here to see it? It breaks my heart. I know she would have been so happy to see that — that's what she wanted. She wanted people to see her art and to see how talented she was.
In January 2023, Alithia's exhibit also will be presented by L’AiR Arts at Atelier 11 — a residency in Alithia’s dream destination of Paris, France.
