About Me

Alexandra Petersen: Portland, Oregon, United States; Alexandra Petersen combines original pen and ink drawings with encaustic. Focusing entirely on these encaustic and pen and ink works for the past several years, Alexandra has had solo shows throughout the Portland area, including the Bella Perla Gallery and the Tyson Gallery, as well as numerous public venues. Current works focus on themes of isolation and introspection, and the subtle strangeness of childhood memories and dream states. Animals are often featured prominently, serving as symbolic manifestations of the hopes and fears of childhood that sleep within us all. ************************ She currently resides in Portland, Oregon with her husband,two boys,three dogs and two rats.
