ART BY LEX
Alexa was born in November 1991 in New Jersey. Â She only lived there for four years before her family packed up and moved to San Diego, California where she grew up.
At age 15, she started working part-time for her dad, Scott, as his under-painter. The first time she painted lasted a brief 15 minutes before she was uninterested and ready to move on to her next teen adventure.
Although Scott thought he lost his apprentice forever, Alexa worked on and off for him for the next several years, amongst many other odd jobs, including modeling for Harley-Davidson and other local apparel companies.
It wasn’t until she had eight years of painting experience with her father that she gained enough courage to create some of her own works.
The first several years painting on her own were spent experimenting with many different mediums, subjects, and styles.
Although she believes in the world of art you never stop discovering, she is confident she has found her niche as a contemporary photorealist artist.
