Artist Statement

Alexa Leggett

In my art practice, I utilize oil, acrylic, and watercolor mediums, focusing on self-exploration through my oil paintings. I excel in creating patterns and find inspiration in life, particularly through my connections with dogs, family, and elements of pop culture and reality television. I employ symbolism to convey deeper meanings about my relationships, using dogs and food to represent various traits of significant individuals in my life. My paintings often blend realism with exaggerated colors and backgrounds. I aim for viewers to experience comfort and joy through my thoughtful color choices and content.
