From a very early age Alexandra showed interest in art. Most of her family are involved in the Arts. She studied at Sidcup School of Art and Chelsea School of Art. Subsequently was employed at a major London Advertising Studio. Where she was then trained as a colour retoucher moving on to become an illustrator. After marriage and children Alexandra became freelance for a number of years. During this time secured many portrait commissions; procured by an agent in Chislehurst. She particularly loves to draw & paint the figure so furthered studies at night School. Here Alexandra had the good fortune to be tutored by a scholar who studied with Oskar Kokoschka - an experience that taught her much about the importance of good drawing skills; this is very much reflected in her figure. & portrait work
