A native of Texas, John Alexander has vivid memories of expeditions with his father in which he discovered the exotic flora and fauna of the swampy marshlands of the bayou and the Gulf Coast. Alexander is world renowned for his talent in capturing the fugitive beauty of the natural environment in his lyrically delicate paintings of exotic foliage and mysterious landscapes. In the artist’s own words, he wants his art “to be highly personal and very much about what my experiences in the world have been, not in an illustrative way, but in a real emotional way that is universal.”
