“Computer programmer by day, artist-wanna-be by night” is the tongue-in-cheek way Alexandra describes herself. However, the attention to detail and creative problem solving talents required by software engineering are reflected in her approach to quilt making. A new quilt design often involves multiple drawings, research and project samples. She has a deep interest in surface design, often creating a unique fabric that the quilt is calling for, yet doesn’t seem to exist in her stash.
In addition to art quilting, Alexandra enjoys photography, puzzles and hydroponic gardening. Often her quilts will be inspired by photos she has taken that reflect a unique perspective, or focus on a unique detail that tells a story. Recent new hydroponic-grown baby artichokes will soon make an appearance in a quilt.
Alexandra lives in Torrance, California with her husband, daughter and their rescue puppy (now 5 years old and over 100 pounds), Reign of Terror, who loves fabric almost as much as Alex does.
