Alex earned a BFA in the small town of Martin, TN. She toured Martin as a prospective athlete, and fell in love with a small town in the middle of nowhere with a terrible football team. While at UTM, she found freedom in oil painting and had great success in local juried exhibitions. After graduation she moved to Dallas, TX to experience the world outside of academics. With less studio space and a mobile lifestyle, Alex switched to watercolor painting to allow for more flexibility and speed. She is currently back in school in a small town with an acceptable football team, this time with more appreciation for the freedom that comes from academics. Alex has five years of experience with oil paints and has been actively painting with watercolors since 2017.
