Always interested in art, Alex worked in galleries, art museums and after
the Rhode Island School of Design, as an exhibit designer with the Boston
Children's Museum. The decision to focus on painting came after a trip to
Antarctica with her adventurous grandmother. This other worldly landscape
inspired her to document the experience through art, with the South Pole
as the first subject.
Now, other landscapes, both real and imagined, are stepping stones
towards abstraction. Inspiration comes from places lived, traveled, or hiked.
Often working in series, Alex explores the possibilities. Experimenting with
color and a more intuitive approach, results in a sense of looseness and
freedom. Each piece is a new adventure, aimed to create images equally
beautiful to their origins, but with a newfound spirit.
“I intend my art to promote curiosity. I hope the intrinsic simplicity and
playfulness fosters freedom . . . room to wander and wonder.”
