About the artistTo describe oneself in a paragraph filled with calculated words and perfect grammar is not only difficult, but inaccurate. It undermines what it's truly like to be an independently free-thinking being. hot cold rhythmic heartbeats grinding teeth intravenous melodies winding through ear drum drum drums breaking bones electrifying tones in your squishy pink brain light up and lust But if I were to use calculated words and perfect grammar I would say: Hello there, I am Alexia. I love to paint, draw, write, and sing. I love dancing too but I wouldn't put that on my resume. I do think I'm a pretty good dancer though. Not a "technically" good dancer, I took three years of jazz and couldn't do a pirourette to save my life, but, like, I think I've got some rhythm. Anyway. I graduated with a B.A. in Creative Writing and it only took my four years and one summer, a rarity in this day and age. In this time I have had a poem and short story published in Transfer Literary Magazine. My self-portrait has been published in the art magazine Art Rag (as seen in the portraits section). In more recent news, I have completed my first novel and I am in the journey-process-adventure-nightmare of getting it published. I am often commissioned to paint portraits and sculpture (as seen in portraits & misc. section). I love to choose an expression of my client that I feel incorporates their personality. From there I interpret their character through color and tone. I also paint in a realist style if the client so chooses. Alas, sometimes traditional is favored and I respect that and put my whole heart into it. Feel free to contact me if interested! Let me lazily end with a quote Ultimately, "I'm just a girl in the world." No, no. Gwen Stefani's lyric is taken out of context here. Let's see. "As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world." You know what, I'm not going to pretend to understand Virginia Woolf any more than you. I think I've got one this time.
