Alexandra’s abstract paintings take you with her in experiencing a walk through the streets of different cities. The shapes, textures, colours and geometry of the buildings, structures, sky, people and transportation inform the marks she makes. Colour is key to encapsulating the feeling of a place. The paintings are of densely layered forms, popping up and below one another thus creating the structure and chaos of city life.
Alexandra uses her fine art background to make visually distinctive games such as The Contractors, made entirely out of clay, or using innovative gameplay techniques such as Making Your Mark, and randomized platform painting game.
