colourful paintings rich and textured with gold leaf, copper leaf, pure coloured silver,
palladium, platinum, pastel crayon and glitter, recreate the physicality of the wild that
inspires her.
With 53 solo shows behind her in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe,
Australia, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, New York, London, Milan, Miami and
Hong Kong, Alexandra continues to expand her creative world, exploring and evolving in
her individual contemporary style.
