Nancy Alexander, Visual Artist

Nancy Alexander, Visual Artist The nature of my work varies from medium to medium, but it almost always involves lots of color and Vivid color makes me feel alive!

Being primarily an acrylic painter, I find that color packs a punch in elevating a mood to a space. Art is a powerful tool that should transport a space from drab to excitement with movement coupled with subtle hints of texture. Graphic motifs juxtaposed to brilliant organic shapes add an element of intrigue. I suppose my body of work says a lot about who I am, a designer, an adventurer, and a lov

er of life. Growing up in El Paso, Texas, I was inspired by creations of my family’s legacy of glass artisans. As a creative soul, I obtained a degree in Interior Design while minoring in Art at TCU in 1981. Upon graduation I married a Dallasite and moved to Dallas, TX. I worked in the design industry for ten years before we had our first child. Soon after our daughter was born, I discovered my passion and talent for art through adversity. Undaunted after a bone marrow transplant, I started to hone my art skills. There was an art studio nearby where I began my painting skills in oils and acrylics. Although college taught me perspective drawing and watercolor rendering, I learned a great deal in eight years from this Dallas based studio. Today, twenty-five years later, and many gallery shows, I have garnered many commissions and sales from National to International. My clients include Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cabo San Lucas, Independent Bank, and Bent Tree Family Physicians. I love painting and plan to do it for years to come.

This was my fun piece inspired by an artist that does photography art. I wanted to do a version of it but make it a disjointed abstract. I call it Art Studio, 30x48, mixed media. I used fluid acrylic, glitter, acrylic paint marker, and moulding paste. View more on Instagram at Nancy Alexander Artist

This was a commissioned piece I did for a music loving couple that I believe own a bar they wanted to hang it in. I had a lot of fun doing this piece. I wasn’t sure how to do his arm position so I asked this young man at my fitness place to pose for me to take a pic. I had to scope out the gym for the right build to match Michael Hutchence. Kinda funny side story. View more on instagram at Nancy Alexander Artist
