Description
Alexander's artwork grew as her life evolved, reflecting her experience as a world traveler and social observer. She has taken on overlooked elderly women, genocidal oppression, prisoners in confinement, and the foibles of country life. Born Jewish, she has a fascination with ritual objects and the varieties of religious expression, from the lost synagogues of WWII to the colorful Christian Timkat festival of Ethiopia. Most recently, psychological themes related to COVID-19 and isolation have appeared in her art.
Spanning more than forty years, these seventy works show an artist with a gift for expression, finely tuned to the currents of life around her.
