About the Artist:
Alexa Mosley is a biracial, freelance multimedia artist originally from New Mexico. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2023 from the University of Colorado Denver, with an emphasis in Painting & Drawing and Illustration.

Fostering connection, understanding, and inclusion through art is important to Mosley. She creates work across a wide range of media and visual subjects that celebrate diverse experiences while encouraging meaningful dialogue. Using symbols such as spirals and repetitive patterns, she references the beauty and culture of natural hairstyles within the African American community. Through portrait paintings, her work becomes both reflection and invitation, encouraging viewers to embrace their complexities and find beauty in diversity. Mosley’s landscape work builds upon vibrant layers of familiar places to inspire viewers to see the world through a different lens while recognizing the importance of preserving the environment. Mosley continues to create smaller and larger paintings, drawings, and illustrations to exhibit feelings of acceptance, empowerment, and resilience within the community.
