MEET ALEX ALFORD
Born in 1962 to itinerate educators, my earliest memories are of drawing. From kindergarten through high school, every test paper I submitted ended up more decorated than when I received it.
My formal art training consisted of a year at a local community college studying under retired illustrators from the automobile industry and two years at Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. My informal training consists of years of wandering the great museums of Europe. The Louvre is like a second home.
I've made my living, to varying degrees, from my art since I was 16. I have drawings and paintings in private collections in the US and abroad; I've executed large murals and erected monumental public scupture; I've sold illustrations to national publishers and to international corporations. More recently, I've been conducting workshops in the US and abroad.
When I'm not drawing figures, I draw in my pen & ink journal: www.AlexDrawsLines.com
