 'tis the season for buying art!I have been HOARDING loads of artwork from Highschool, College, and a couple from recent months. Friends and family have inquired over the years about buying my work, but gallery prices aren't always the most affordable and I realize that. So I'm making affordable prices possible through Saatchi Art!
Browse prints starting at $50 and originals starting at $125 here: https://www.saatchiart.com/alexasnyder Most canvases come unframed, unstretched, and arrive in a shipping tube. *If you would like stretcher bars included or have questions, please contact me!* Can't find the perfect piece? Check back later this week! (I'm uploading more right now as you read this)...did I mention I had loads? I hope you find something you like :) <3 Alexa I am so excited to share that the West Coast Studio space is up and running! California is the new home to a new series of artwork in the making; an edgier and bolder body of work. Here are some progress shots... hope you enjoy! Happy Saturday <3 "Do YOU." xoxo Alexa 
 Happy Saturday! It's been quite a while since I've posted. Hand and Feet Studies done in umber pencil, the set was gifted to me from my wonderful Matthew ❤️🤗   Here's to another year of opportunities and blessings to you! :) Starting a new piece this week and decided to try a solid color for the background. I'm finding that the longer I use acrylic paint (especially for flesh tones), the more I miss my oils! They blend so well and allow for more time to work with multiple colors at once. The best part about enjoying both types is that both mediums can be married into one piece together, simply by layering one before the other...acrylic as a base, then oil on top. What a great thing! Mixing in slow-dri fluid blending medium with the acrylic alone allows me to get that oil-like feel and consistency. I'm looking forward to incorporating some water-soluble oils with upcoming pieces!

 | Banksy...has it "going on" with this quote. Feeling like the last time I blog posted was only a few weeks ago really shocked me when I realized that it had actually been 2 months. 'Goodness gracious', I thought. 'What have you been doing, Alexa?' The answer is: Living life...and resting! Resting doesn't mean being a couch potato...although it is really nice sometimes to kick up your feet and do nothing! "Rest" can be defined as "recovering strength". How powerful is that? |
| Last year I made a trip to Miami to check out some of the art shows downtown. Artists and Galleries from across the globe join to exhibit their work. There is so much to see that I recommend spending 2 or 3 days to see atleast 4 of the venues, and book hotels early early early! This year, the must-see list included Red Dot, Spectrum, Art Basel, and SCOPE. Red Dot and Spectrum were definitely my favorites of the 4 for 2016. |  |
 | I have a tendancy to tell myself to "get it together" or "work faster"...becoming my own personal drill sargeant in my head. NO BUENO! There are the "hustlers" out there that push themselves even harder than most, and especially when they're tired. I commend those that can, but that just doesn't work for me. So instead of becoming overwhelmed and quitting altogether, I'm learning to rest; rest my mind and feed on things that are good, like inspirational art shows in Miami ;) |
With building up my inventory of paintings this time of year comes the temptation to stress.
It's the Holidays afterall! Isn't everyone stressed?
Maybe...but we weren't created to live this way.
So don't stress, and don't quit!
Just rest.

Tonight, as I watched the candle flicker with light, I couldn't help but take time to reflect and feel so thankful for this life. These days we're in such a hurry to get to where we're going and to see results fast, that we often miss all of the wonderful things nestled right before us.
Whoever you are, thank you for reading this. No matter what you carry with you, always remember that you have a light to shine. This world would have us to believe that having value means good performance, looking and sounding a certain way, or perhaps even keeping ourselves tucked away in an envelope of sorts labeled with just one word... "safe."
You have value, and you matter. Never forget that you are a flame.
That flame burns a unique and radiant light...a light that knows no boundaries <3

What I've learned through the process of making art is that you can put deadlines on a piece of work, but ultimately the work finishes itself! I told myself, these three paintings will be finished by Sunday...I'll set that goal for myself. But sometimes, you have to let things be done the right way and to evolve organically. So below are 3 paintings, as part of my double exposure series, that are close to completion, but not there just yet :)
Weebly's website was down on Monday, but that didn't get in the way of showing some detail shots of artwork as promised! In cased you missed them on Instagram or Facebook, check out the tab "PROGRESSION" at the top of this page to see photos. I will be reposting photos of these 3 complete & finished pieces this Sunday October 9th!

There will be 2 posts this week:
Tomorrow I'm going to be publishing photos of the "kids", also what I like to call my in-progress-paintings. See the photos right here tomorrow to see what very well may be some of the final pieces of my double exposure series.
For this evening, I have included below one of the photographs I took as reference for this group of work.
I couldn't be more thrilled to soon show the rest of this series at
State of the Arts Gallery.
Goodnight everyone, until tomorrow!
...And of course, I can't end without a quote...
