Alexandra Ellena

Artist Bio

Houston-based printmaker and sculptor, Alexandra Ellena, has been honing her skills in printmaking for the past several years. She discovered her second love of sculpture while obtaining her MFA at Houston Baptist University. While attending her artist residency in Germany in 2021 she continued to experiment more with both sculpture and printmaking, occasionally combining the two in singular works allowing each component to facilitate each other.

Alexandra’s evolution from 2D to both 2D and 3D work has allowed her to introduce other ideas and elements into her work extending her range and talent. Her focus on the unknown and alien among us challenges the viewers to step away from the mundane and question what could be. She utilizes texture in her sculptures and plate manipulation in her prints to create a whimsical yet foreboding story for these pieces to reveal.
