Alexa rekindled a childhood passion for painting when in her twenties, and she now paints in fits and bursts between working as a writer and editor and parenting two small children. Alexa has studied various techniques and theories at Massachusetts College of Art and the School of Visual Art in NY. She alternates between abstract and representational work and finds inspiration in subject matter that contains an inherent visual metaphor; an unexpected connection to other objects and ideas. Alexa has shown her work in NY, PA, MA, and Puerto Rico, and she currently resides in Washington, DC with her husband and two sons.
