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.

- SONGBIRDS, Original Signed Contemporary Red Abstract Expressionist PaintingLocated in Boston, MASONGBIRDS, Original Contemporary Red Abstract Expressionist Painting 36" x 48" x 2" (HxWxD) Oil on Canvas Hand-signed by the artist. Though entirely abstract, the rich red that dominates this large-format painting, along with the general layout of its composition, bear a striking allusion to The Red Studio by Henri Matisse. It is as if artist William O'Connor has produced an abstract expressionist take on Matisse's beloved workspace in a more modern and contemporary painting, utilizing spontaneity, energy, and bold design. The bright palette is both striking and refreshing and is sure to be a focal point in any room you hang it in. Unframed. Canvas edges are painted white. Artist Commentary: Three years ago we moved to our home in Glendora. Our efforts growing flowers and maintaining gardens provides a haven for many birds and animals. I hung up a finch bird seed feeder outside my studio. It attracted a flock of around 50 Gold Finches. While I would paint, they would eat, sing, and fly back and forth to the bird bath for water. It was magical. However, our two beautiful outside rescue cats thought the whole flock was for them. Needless to say, I had to stop feeding the Gold Finches. I no longer have the finches...Category
