Theme of Lecture: "Bringing Art To Life”

Originally from Lexington, Kentucky, Alexandrea (Alex) Pangburn moved to Golden, Colorado is 2017. It was then she started working with the RiNo Art District and continues to work for them as their Director of Curation. During her time here, she has learned to tap into doing large scale pieces. Her first spray paint mural was done in 2018 and she has recently completed her 50thmural; with locations ranging in Colorado, Ohio, and Kentucky.

Alex’s work focuses on local flora + fauna in the hopes to bring education on their presence within the area that she’s painting. Her realistic style focuses on expressing the details of plants, birds, and animals to bring light to their recognizable physical traits. Her hope is to bring awareness to local flora and fauna so that we may understand and better educated on how we can conserve these species.

Alex graduated with an Animal Science degree from the University of Kentucky in 2010, but her art business didn’t really kick off until she was working at a veterinary clinic in Powell, Ohio where she was focused and commissioned to do pet portraiture. Her pet portraits became her sole commission and it wasn’t until 2017 that she was able to start developing her style and build a body of work that inspired her.

In 2019, Alex and eight other local womxn artists formed Babe Walls, an all womxn + non-binary mural festival that is focused on creating space and community among womxn + non-binary artists.
