Alexandria Smith

I have never known a life without art — I have been enamored with creating since the day I could hold a pencil. While I have pursued education for both Graphic Design and UI/UX, my journey in traditional artwork has been entirely self-taught.

My infatuation with the natural world has led me to lean into capturing it as honestly as possible; most of my work is done in the style of black and white realism. You’ll occasionally see some pieces from me that defer from this style, but realism is truly what makes my heart sing while creating!

These days, I mostly create on a whim when I am inspired by any given subject. This typically results in me producing 2-4 pieces per year that are larger scale, detail intensive, and require 50+ hours of work minimum. All of these originals that I produce go up for sale at the time of completion, I do not believe in hanging onto them for myself.

While I have taken a step back from doing commission work full-time, I am still open to accepting a small handful of requests at a time. Feel free to reach out to me via email to discuss any ideas that you might wish to have me bring to life!

fall snippets - quiet days and delightful spaces
The best September!! 🖤 this one was a lovely transition to fall. Wish I took more photos but whatever. A few things I loved about the month, in no particular order: • @dumbderel came to Yosemite. Got to share a rope and share the way of the Va

Small moments of summer - focusing on finding the beauty in-between đŸ’Ģ — oceans of granite laughter under the stars fields full of flowers tattered hands I'm grateful for it all.
Late march roundup đŸŒŦī¸ Oops. Last month really was one of polar opposites - it was either getting lizard time climbing in Bishop, or skiing my butt off at home and in canada. đŸĻŽâ„ī¸
