Thank you. My gratitude for a  2022 grant from the Artist Resilience Program, administered by the Oregon Arts Commission in partnership with Oregon Community Foundation and the James F. and Marion Miller Foundation

I am a minimalist painter, photographer, writer. Creative Freelancer. ALXSw is my tradename. I studied fine art and biological sciences at several universities, completing a M.S. in Visual Communications, & previously a M.S. in Criminal Justice (focus - anthro & ethnography).  Art in some form has always been my core home.
