Based in Warwickshire Alex Westmore is a contemporary portrait painter, mixed media artist and educator. In 2022 she was selected to take part in Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, and recently received a highly commended at the Leamington Spa Open Exhibition 2022.
Having originally studied Theatre Design (BA) at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and later an MA in Arts Education at Oxford Brookes University, Alex has gradually built her artistic practice through the exploration of an array of creative processes. Working as a Head of Art in a local Secondary School combined with her own ongoing study has instilled a love of learning and exploration alongside students and in her own studio. As a result there is often an ever changing interplay of materials and techniques in her work.
