Why Watercolors On Wee Hours?
It all started with me picking up the brush on the wee hours to help my late cat Harper settle his zoomies.
It started during the pandemic, year 2021 and I’ve been painting everyday since.
Most of my works are heavily inspired by nature and delightfully powered by cats!
Who’s Alex & what’s my background in art?
I’m a graduate of Fine Arts major in Advertising Arts which means 50% of the courses are about graphic design and the other half is for traditional arts.
Right after graduating university I became a graphic artist with 10 years experience in the marketing and advertising field.
During the pandemic I let go of my job and rekindled my love for painting.
Where’s the studio and where’s the art journey going?
I’m currently based in Maryland and my humble studio which is the 2nd bedroom in our home is in Frederick.
This art journey that I’m now full timing for 4 years has been a childhood dream and I’m in no rush to go anywhere.
For this year, I plan on continuing to put my art out there through in person events like art festivals and shows; and through social media platforms, oh and through this new website.
The dream is to paint more, The goal is to earn through my art so I can live the dream.
Is there anything beyond watercolor?
I also do murals on the side and when I’m taking a break from watercolors, I dabble on acrylics as well.
Hand painted jackets, totes, earrings and bookmarks are my go to craft projects.
I may add a section in this website in the future for hand painted wearable and usable items.
