A longtime resident of Baltimore, Alexa received a BA in 1997 from Salve Regina University in Newport, RI and an MFA in 2005 from the Mount Royal School of Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She explores detailed realism through graphite drawings while contemplating our society’s overdependence on technology. Getting lost in the details of everyday objects allows for a deeper relationship with the physical world and to make a drawing of the subject that is more truthful than what technology could reproduce.
