About me, Alexa.
I am an American artist living in sunny Spain. Surrounding myself with whatever I find beautiful is how I ended up in Europe and my exploration of charming cities & towns, first-class museums, and the natural environment is reflected in my artwork.
I also teach foundational art practices and art appreciation at the university level. What I love about teaching is helping others gain the skills and confidence to realize their creative goals. I aim to do the same with A Creative Spark.

I’m the co-author of an academic workbook for Art Appreciation titled The Visual Arts Workbook which can be purchased here and here.
