Alex has an MA in Art Psychotherapy and is a practicing Artist, Author and Curator. Alex’s life and artwork explores the meaning of the Feminine and aims to challenge and create a new dialogue in this area. ‘Affirming the root of Feminine power within myself and inspiring others, permeates everything I do and all that I represent.
I am on a journey to rediscover the Source of a woman’s power, the feminine spirit, which thrived in the more female oriented cultures, only to be superseded by the patriarchal way of life. It is within this context that I wonder how women can retain the true nature of our gender while we navigate this mechanical world. My desire for women to become integrated in self knowledge, acceptance and love is paramount. I believe this integration can happen when women live in choice, respecting their body and mind and pleasurably celebrate their life’.Â
Alex creates artwork around themes that include feminine sexuality, cycles, birth as a rite of passage, and our intuitive, creative expression. These themes are reflected symbolically in different ways, including the Spiral, Lotus flower and Divine Source™. Alex is renowned for her beautiful Divine Source™ paintings, use of tactile media and the infamous Pink Tent Installation.
Alex has worked therapeutically with pregnant women and offers her book The Art of Birth – Empower Yourself for Conception, Pregnancy and Birth and online course to support this journey. She exhibits in the UK and abroad, her art, blogs and articles have been published in several books and magazines and one of her paintings and film were featured on television.
She is also on the organising committee for the Tomorrow’s Child Exhibition in Parliament (June 2016) sponsored by Parent Infant Partnership (PIP UK) and Tim Loughton MP  http://www.tomorrowschildexhibition.com
*The Tomorrow’s Child Exhibition, as part of Infant Mental Health week (6-10 June 2016), is an exciting and innovative collaboration between scientists and artists opening in the UK Houses of Parliament, Westminster, for the first time. The exhibition objective is to raise a greater awareness of the importance of social and emotional wellbeing for babies by bringing together the art and the science of pregnancy and the first two years of life.
The exhibition is inspired by the 1001 Critical Days Manifesto and sponsored by previous Children’s Minister Tim Loughton MP. This ground-breaking exhibition showcases collaborations between nationally recognised artists and scientists, as well as experts by lived experience…
Her Technique
Alex’s paintings, whether abstract or representational, follow an intuitive process beginning with a particular evocative colour mood and out of this colour infusion the nascent image or symbols evolve. They often combine a variety of tactile media which is not only a pleasurable experience but allows the viewer to enter into a world of deep colour, sparkles and magic.
‘Painting is a meditation. Once I get into the ‘zone’ and the energy flows, I allow the process to take me on an intuitive journey resulting in spontaneous and deliberate acts of creation’. Her art is usually described as vibrant, colourful, luminous, evocative, sensual, passionate, meaningful, symbolic, emotive and darn right juicy! ‘I live my subject matter – to inspire, empower and celebrate the Feminine’.
The Pink Tent is her travelling art installation which is a celebration of all things Feminine. It allows women to expand their self awareness of who they are beyond the context of our culture while giving a positive insight to men.
‘Let us re-awaken the Feminine and create the much needed balance. Let the Masculine and Feminine collaborate and work in harmony together, not be in competition, because then we can truly work towards creating peace’.
