Alice Keeney
Alice returned to Charleston, South Carolina in the fall of 2005 after completing a year abroad at Speos Photographic Institute in Paris, France, where she focused on digital photography and photojournalism. While in Paris, she was awarded First and Third Prize in two competitions held by the French Federation of Fencing for the images she produced in the Challenge Monal and the Challenge International de Paris, respectively. Alice’s work from the tournaments was displayed in Escrime Magazine, as well as on the Federation’s Website.
Since returning to Charleston, Alice has been working for the Associated Press, The Center for Photography, Grassroot Soccer, Oblique Magazine and pursuing various freelance projects in the area.
Keeney’s work has been displayed in numerous shows in South Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, and is on permanent display at the Kudu Coffee House in Charleston. In May 2006, Keeney was named one of the Lowcountry’s Top 10 up and coming “Under the Radar” artists and was featured in the May 2006 issue of Charleston Magazine.
Alice Kenney, a native of Rhode Island, graduated from the College of Charleston in 2004, where she balanced her time playing Division I soccer, while earning a B.A. in English.
Alice has spent a great deal of time in Africa in recent years photographing the children who participate in soccer-based health programs. Alice Keeney is generously donating not only her time and expertise as a Goals for Girls coach, but also several of her beautiful photographs to help Goals for Girls raise money for the project.
