About Alex
Raised in Southern California in a highly creative environment, I was constantly surrounded by artists, and creatives of all types. I studied fine arts at the University of Tasmania School of Art, in Hobart Tasmania, and later furniture making at San Diego Mesa College. I have worked extensively in the museum, and exhibits industry, including the Getty, The Denver Art Museum, and the San Diego Natural History Museum. Currently living in Los Angeles, I am focused on exploring new avenues for creative expression through my sculptural works.
