The following information was provided by the artist unless otherwise noted.
I work with shapes and colors. Through the overlaying and form of these images, I try to explore the magic between the realm of nature and dreams. I try to give my work a sense of visual coherence, a unity, by working from a theme. The paintings are done in mixed media - acrylics, charcoal, oil sticks, oils - on canvas or paper.
To quote from "Impossible Dreams Made True and Real," a review by Robert Von Brahler-Murray: "Alex Andra's paintings bring us myth, music, the spiritual, the classic, the real and maybe-real - all memorable and, hopefully, redreamable dreams."
Alex Andra studied at both the Art Students League in New York City and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. She makes her home in Virginia.
She has exhibited widely throughout the United States including the El Paso Museum of Art, Albrecht Art Museum, Mint Museum of Art, and Brooks Memorial Gallery. She is represented in the permanent collection at the Portsmouth Museum in Virginia and was selected by the Smithsonian Institution for inclusion in its traveling exhibition (1976-1979).
Alex Andra's paintings "Reverie" and "Drifting" have been included in "Best of Acrylic Painting," published by Rockport Publishers, June 1996.
