Alex is a self-taught Austin-based artist that works with a wide range of mediums to create nature-inspired art. The goal of her work is to share her love of nature and the peace it brings, as well as uplift someone in a small way with a touch of whimsy and a bit of quirkiness. She sources her materials through small local businesses as well as reclaiming, foraging, and growing and harvesting her own botanicals. 

“My designs are inspired by nature. Getting outside is good for the soul- it reminds us to slow down, stills our restlessness and turmoil and helps us reconnect with ourselves and appreciate the world around us. My goal is to bring peace and a little bit of whimsy to paper and cheer up someone in a small way. Through my artwork I try to capture some of the beauty of the natural world and share it with you!

Printmaking Process: Each print is drawn directly onto the wood or linoleum block then the white space is carefully carved out by hand. After being carved, the block is inked with a roller, hand-pulled and placed in a lever style press with specialty paper, details are finished with a hand baren, then set out to dry. Because of this process, each print is a unique variation and unlike any other print from the same block - making each a true original.
