My name is Alexandra, most people call me Alex, or even Al.
I’m a contemporary ceramic artist born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa.
I’ve always been drawn to creating. Before discovering ceramics, I spent more than 20 years working as a graphic designer - a career that shaped the way I understand form, balance, and visual storytelling.
In 2014, my husband, children, and I moved to the United States, beginning a new chapter and unexpectedly, finding my love for clay.
Ceramics drew me in with its endless possibilities - the way the material can be shaped, transformed, and pushed in new directions continues to inspire me.
Since 2020, I’ve been fortunate to spend more time in Cape Town, balancing my life between two continents. Staying connected to my family, friends, and the place that has impacted the shape of my life, is deeply important to me.
My artwork is a reflection of that journey - my heritage, the landscapes I move between, and the beauty I find in everyday moments. Each piece - sculptural or functional is created to be held, displayed, and enjoyed!
