About
Hi! My name is Alexandria Trevena or Alex for short. I’m a human who loves to make art, currently residing in central New Jersey. Thank you for visiting my website!
I’ve been into creating art since I was a kid and the passion has evolved many times over the years. 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 expression! Art has always helped guide me through my many experiences and emotions throughout my life.
Creating art has always been a personal outlet and friend to me. My work can often reflect current and past personal struggles or experiences. It’s often why my art pieces can range through so many different color palettes and emotions. My repetitive line-work 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 during the process. I love listening to a song and seeing where it takes my mind and hand.
In 2012 and 2013, I was an animation student at Delaware College of Art & Design. Later in 2016, I attended Raritan Community College for Graphic Design. Currently, I am working on my own personal projects and slowly studying sequential art. In my spare time, I enjoy helping out my community in my area and am a member of Princeton Comic Makers in Princeton, New Jersey.
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 skilled artists in my circle and 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.
