Personal Profile:
Hello! I'm Alexa Meade. I was born in Washington D.C. on September 3rd, 1986 to Linda and Phil Meade. I thought I was going to enter a career of politics, but an art class at Vessar College in poughkeepsie, New York changed my mind. I became a professional artist in 2009! I became even more known in 2010 when my art went viral, thanks to CNN. I have continued to paint and I love it!

About my art:
I am an American Installation artist! This kind of art often transforms the perception of a space. I do live paintings, which is where I paint on live models using acrylic paint. I started doing this by painting black shadows on people. I don't like the idea of paintings just being on canvases. Some of my art has even been exhibited at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.
