Alex Abbott
Born and raised near Houston, Texas, Alex Abbott graduated from the University of North Texas in 2001 with a B.A. in Visual Art. A south Austin resident for over 20 years, and mother of two, Alex’s artistic endeavors have included jewelry design and fabrication using lost wax casting, mural painting, and illustration. In the summer of 2021 she embraced painting full time. Through her body of work she shares her personal experience as a Gen X, Texan woman, overcoming crisis and loss through self-expression. Self-taught in the medium of acrylics, Alex’s signature style includes hyper focus, bold color, and surrealism. She invites the viewer to explore the juxtaposition of present and past, growth and decay, dream and reality through her collage-like
compositions.
