Alexandra Gerry
Unparalleled Passion Blessed by Natural Born Talent
… And very humble. Alexandra has always loved art, but never considered it as a career. She preformed very well in school, but credits her success to the many doodles she scribbled on the back of her assignments in hopes of amusing herself and her teachers. She attended a private boarding school in Connecticut where she blissfully spent all of her time painting in the art studio. Alexandra fell in love, specifically obsessed with Renaissance and Baroque paintings. She realized that the best way to learn to paint was to copy the masters, so that is exactly what she did.
“I did not choose Art. Art chose me.”
There is nothing Alexandra loves more, and she dedicates her time and energy accordingly. Her father is a man of numbers and business; understandably skeptical of her whimsically unstructured vision. She mortified family, particularly her very prim and proper English grandmother, when she began tattooing. How could she explain that the biggest honor for an artist was to have someone wearing your work on their skin? Their concern only grew as she became involved in the Miami graffiti scene - but there is something so captivating about the neon colors bursting from the aerosol cans. Nevertheless, she persisted. And she couldn’t be more grateful and enthusiastic.
Juxtaposing Fine Art with Street Mystique
Spending so much time painting inside, Ms. Gerry cherishes going outside on walks. She finds gems of inspiration in the most unsuspecting of places. People watching, hunting for graffiti, paint splatters on construction sites, promotional posters and advertisements, birds, cars, plants, architecture - she loves it all. Alexandra hopes to repay and contribute to all of her favorite places, and new ones she explores. There is no such thing as too much love and attention to detail. Bringing Fine Art somewhere it may not necessary “belong” sends a chill down her spine. Make it silly, a pop of pink and green? Ugh. A girl can dream.
