My name is Gabi Telcocci Alexander and I am an artist, and I believe that you are too! I was raised with a very creative family and have never been scared to try anything artistic. I studied Art and English in college, and then went to work in the marketing field. Once I had children, I 2019d volunteer at their schools offering a variety of art and design skills, from creating the weekly school newsletter, to teaching basic calligraphy to the students, and organizing art projects for school auctions, to designing Vacation Bible Study sets, and much more. Once my kids grew out of wanting me to be at their schools (gasp!), I found other ways to be creative by volunteering at an assisted living center hosting monthly painting classes to working as an Adjunct Art Teacher at Francis Tuttle Vo Tech.
I find inspiration from nature, real life feminine heroes, and the fabulous artists I find on social media, especially Instagram and Pinterest. I would describe my style as beautiful chaos because my paintings always start out with a chaos of color in the background. Sometimes I add layers of whatever paper I may come across at the time. Then I smudge more paint, use stencils and paint other patterns to somehow mash the paper into the background so it doesn 2019t feel like it 2019s sitting on top. Once I 2019m happy with the background, I let it tell me what it would like to become. Sometimes I know what I 2019m going for as I 2019m creating the background, other times, a background may sit for weeks before it 201cbecomes 201d something else. I hope you 2019ll join me in the process sometime. Look forward to meeting you!
