I’m Alex - a painter and sketch artist from England. I studied art up to A-level before moving onto a Liberal Arts degree whilst pursuing creativity in my spare time. Throughout University, I kept my artwork private. It wasn’t until lockdown when I was given a lot more time to invest back into it. This is when my lightbulb designs were born.

I’ve always been fascinated by art from all mediums - from film to photography to painting - working as a producer for several years in London. The thing I marvel at most is how people can have an idea locked up in their heads and make it a reality for other people to see.

All of my work - whether nature watercolours or lightbulb sketches - are heavily influenced by the period of time in my life. Encasing objects in lightbulbs was at a time when we were all contained in our homes during lockdown, to my sea life watercolours being inspired by my upcoming move to Australia to step away from city life and slow down my lifestyle.

My favourite visualisation of my future is being able to spend my time painting in a studio with a view out to the sea.
