Alex was born in 1974 in the village of Shotley Bridge in county Durham in the North East of England. Never one to chase the limelight, Alex has always preferred her animals to do the talking. She has developed a deep affinity for the rolling countryside of her home that provides a backdrop to much of her work on sale today.
Instead of attending art school, she studied biology at university in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, supplementing her income by painting in the evenings and then selling her work at craft fairs and local art exhibitions at weekends.
She first began printing her own greetings cards in 1998 and has expanded her wonderful range since.
