About The Artist
Alexandra is A Toronto-based Artist who works with a variety of pressed flowers, ferns, leaves, herbs and other botanicals to create Artwork in celebration of Nature's Beauty.
Through spending time among nature and creating with her blooms, Alexandra's intention is to deepen her own connection with the natural world and inspire others to do the same. She believes that taking the time to notice the utter beauty of a single flower is enough to move someone into a state of awe and appreciation for Mother Earth which will translate into mad respect and passion for the wellbeing of this planet.
In her words" People protect what they love, but they only love what they're familiar with. As we become increasingly disconnected from the natural world, I believe reminding ourselves of nature's beauty is an imperative part of the movement surrounding environmental protection."
THE PROCESS
The creation of each piece involves many hours spent outdoors picking and pressing my materials- wildflowers, ferns, leaves, and herbs- followed by countless more in my studio where I transform these botanicals into nature-inspired artwork
