Alexandra was born in Switzerland but has spent most of her adult life travelling and living in various Asian countries before finally settling down in Somerset in 2009. She now lives right in the heart of the little market town of Wellington and finally has a studio of her own where she can paint, hold exhibitions and receive customers. "Painting for me means exploring the interaction of colour and form in order to create particular moods, mostly of places I find especially beautiful and worth capturing to share with viewers," she says. "Above all, though, painting is also an experiment, a challenge and a journey into the unknown. I work mostly with soft pastels, oil and acrylics but am always open to trying out new techniques and using new materials, which means that over the years I have developed different styles according to what I want to express and with which materials I am working." Alexandra exhibits in Somerset, in galleries and art fairs. Her studio can be visited by appointment.
