I’m alexa
Established in January of 2018, I turned a New Year’s resolution and a lifelong goal into a reality by creating Alexa Martin Designs. I picked up my first paint brush before I could do just about anything else, beginning my journey of art lessons studying under my grandmother, the most talented watercolor artist I know. It was Grandby who allowed me to learn the fundamentals of art and hone my skills as I got older and my style matured (and changed a LOT over the years)!
I aim to spark joy with my timeless designs by painting things that are fun, enjoyable, and approachable for all! Inspired by the coast and my life at the beach, there is always a luxurious coastal undertone in my artwork. Whether I am working with clients to create elegant wedding stationery and signage or painting keepsake portraits, the custom nature of my work and my meticulous attention to detail ensures that memories are created and preserved to last a lifetime.
I love to travel and my camera is one of my favorite accessories. Through that lens, I find endless inspiration for my art. I was an elementary teacher for 9 years but my heart was always invested in painting. Over time, I taught myself how to build a website, code, license my artwork, and essentially build and run a small business. I pour my heart into every project I take on and I have endless goals and aspirations for AMD!
My designs are now heavily inspired by my baby girl Peyton and the prints and patterns that I’d like to see on her clothing and in her nursery. In my opinion, there is nothing like a soft, colorful palette to tell a story and change a mood, especially when caring for little ones. I’d love to see my designs on more of these types of products in the future.
I have been so fortunate to work on amazing projects and with the amazing clients that I have over the years. I am continuously striving to spread as much joy through my artwork as I can with meaningful collaborations and continuing to create designs that speak to me and my clients. I hope you’ll enjoy joining me on this journey!
