ALEXA ALEXANDER 
Folk Art

​​

About the Artist

  The approach to my work is be both historical and aesthetic. As a Self Taught Folk Artist, I try to be as original as possible in my concept, creativity, and design.  My paintings are oil on canvas, or sometimes, wood board.  I love painting real "happenings" in the old fashioned folk art style. To me, it lends a sort of vintage or history to it.
​
Subjects of my work can range from childhood memories of growing up in California and travels across America in the 1950's and 60's to current cultural events, celebrations, and  historical American scenes. 
​
Living part time in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I now also paint scenes of Native Americans and their ceremonies,  the landscapes of the area and Hispanic cultural events.

Many of the rural places I have painted have been replaced by tract homes, condos and apartments, or industrial parks. But our good ole USA still has an endless number of beautiful scenes that capture my imagination as a painter, just as they have always done
.

I like to think that my work unites us in common experiences or memories, and I hope you enjoy the view.
