Ashley Alexandra

Born: 1984

Hometown: Toronto

Based in: Calgary

In my studio that nears the foothills at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - I am endlessly captivated by the surrounding natural landscapes. My paintings are inspired by the formidable indifference of the mountains and an irrefutable beckoning to the sea – both captivating and tumultuously beautiful, ebbing and flowing with fierce storms and calm tranquility. This emotional dichotomy tumbles out onto the canvas in layers upon thick texture that imposes on our three dimensional world, enticing unwitting observers into a journey of my inner landscape that tells the story.

My paintings have travelled around the world for exhibitions in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy.
