Fine Artist Scenic Painter
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alex is a 24 year old artist from Jackson, New Jersey. As her first job at the age of 15, she was employed at Six Flags Great Adventure as a Caricature Artist/ Body Artist. From there she decided to pursue her passion of theme parks. In researching different college majors she found the idea of creating immersive environments for people to explore fascinating. She decided to attend Savannah College of Art and Design majoring in Production Design (with a concentration in Theme Parks and Attractions/ Themed Entertainment), and a minor in Painting. In Winter 2020, she was hired as the Scenic Charge Artist in SCAD's Scene Shop on their Savannah Campus. There she helped construct sets, turn paint elevations into real-life textures, and oversee all of the scenic painting for SCAD's theatrical and film productions.
Following graduation she moved to Orlando, FL where she was hired as a Scenic Forman for themed entertainment construction company. During her time there she was able to work closely with various Orlando theme parks including Walt Disney World, Walt Disney World Resorts, Universal Studios Orlando, and Sea World Parks. In this position she oversaw scenic painting while leading jobs and a crew. Some of the jobs Alex had the opportunity to lead were, stonework on entire building facades for Hogsmead in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Hibiscus Hideaway bar mural at Sea World’s Discovery Cove, and the Ripsaw Falls ride entry way at Universal Studios. After her time in Orlando she took a Summer Stock job as a Scenic Charge Artist in Dennis, Massachusetts. She enjoyed her experience there and it resulted in the move to New York to pursue her career further.
Alex is now a freelance artist based out of Manhattan, New York. She is so excited to see where this journey takes her, and even more excited to pivot career fields and move towards the world of fine art.
