Alexandra is a full-time illustrator and designer, primarily a traditional paint artist, with gold hand-embellished archival prints, small-batch embroidered apparel (sweatshirts and hats), and dinosaur-skull pins. Acryla gouache and watercolor are her favorite media. Her artwork is vibrantly printed on fine art paper and gold embellished, as well as printed on zipper pouches, lanyards, keychains, and enamel pins. When she showcases at anime and comics conventions, you’ll typically see her four cats at her booth, one of her main inspurrrations! As the creator of Catcus Plush, some of her cat-tastic designs have been featured on the Purrrcast Podcast, and she has collaborated with voice actors Jennie Kwan, Greg Baldwin, and Abby Trott. She’s currently working on a picture book about Catcus, new original pin designs, and paintings. She can’t wait to show you! She also has a book cover she illustrated for Scarlett St. Clair coming out in 2026 from Bloom Books.
