Alaine DiBenedetto and her identical twin, Angie, grew up speaking a secret language that they still share today. A narrative artist, her paintings contain hidden symbols, code, and text telling deeper stories. She is a published author and poet—silent words are more meaningful than spoken ones. This is her mojo.

A Louisiana native, DiBenedetto often draws inspiration from her Jena Choctaw & Italian roots. Local culture and landscapes are also important. She loves strong coffee, the Blues, and U.S. combat soldiers.
