About the Item

Artist Commentary: While living in Puerto Rico in 2004 I began painting an abstract image of web-like vertical drips. Soon after, I came across one of Old San Juan's amazing banyans--enormous trees with hundreds of ropey roots that hang from their branches to the ground--and it struck me as a likely resemblance. I titled that first painting Roots. Since then, this pattern has caught my eye in many unexpected places and forms, such as streaks of rust on subway station walls, cracks in the sidewalk, light reflected underwater, and images of cerebral neurons. The ubiquity of this pattern in nature intrigues me, and I create these in a meditative state. Keywords: earth tones, abstract, fluid Artist Biography: Alexa rekindled a childhood passion for painting in her twenties and she now paints in fits and bursts while also working as an intuitive energy healer. 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, DC, and Puerto Rico, and she recently moved to Amherst, MA with her husband and two sons.
