About

Hi! My name is Alexandria Trevena or Alex for short.

I’m a human who loves to make art, currently residing in NJ.

Born as an only child, I was gifted with a wild imagination to fill the gap of loneliness. My imagination and creativity allowed me to express myself through art. Drawing and oven bake clay quickly became my friends. My experimental love with arts’ many mediums followed me into my teenage years and now adulthood. I have always felt art “rules” are meant to be broken, with the only true rule being to express yourself! Art has always helped guide me through my many experiences and emotions throughout my life.

In my life, I have ADHD, and I often struggle with depression, anxiety, and symptoms from my PTSD. Creating art has always been a personal outlet for me and my work can often reflect these struggles. It is often why my art pieces can range through so many different color palettes and energies. My repetitive linework in my pieces also serves the purpose of calming my nerves while creating. The strikes have felt meditative, and I really love how my lines unify many compositions. Music is one of my main inspirations. I love listening to a song and seeing where it takes my mind and hand.

My aspiration is to keep creating artwork for as many years as I am given. I want to have more honesty and freedom in my art. I love sharing my creations— whether in paintings, drawings, digitally, product form, or story telling. I am very motivated and in awe of the countless talented artists on social media. I believe artists should empower and encourage one another. I hope to meet other artists on my journey and get more involved in art communities.
