Living on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, between the Salish Sea and the Olympic Mountains, Alexa is a textile artist focused on sustainability, using natural local dyes and repurposed fabrics to reduce waste. Her work honors place, seasonality, and rhythms that support balanced production and lifestyle. With over 12 years as an art handler, including positions at the Seattle Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, and the Donald Judd Foundation, Alexa is a skilled builder and problem solver, adept at bringing diverse elements together to foster creative collaboration.

In 2017, Alexa co-founded Level It: Women’s Art Handlers Network, providing technical training to women-identified art handlers and fabricators. Her dedication to community extends to her role as a certified Wilderness EMT, serving in her local hospital’s Emergency Department. Rooted in a rural, intentional community of artisans and farmers, Alexa’s creative practice is closely aligned with her values, reimagining sustainable living and collaborative problem-solving within a life of intention and symbiosis.
