about the artist

BIOGRAPHY

Alexa has studied color theory, portraiture, abstract and representational painting at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA, at the Liga de Arte in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has painted portraits and interior murals on commission for clients in Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., and San Juan. 

After graduating from Harvard College with a degree in History & Literature, Alexa worked as a writer and editor for several years in different mediums, contexts, and countries. She began painting seriously while living in South America over ten years ago and has since made the passion into a discipline. Alexa currently lives in West Philadelphia with her husband and two boys. References and portfolio viewings are available upon request.
