In a world flooded with creativity it can be hard to stand out, but this isn't the case for Alexa Meade. Her work literally speaks for itself.

The Los Angeles based painter's work is instantly recognizable because she is doing something that hasn't been done before.

Alexa's art "optically transforms a  3-dimensional world into a 2-dimensional painting." Instead of solely relying on canvas to create paintings, Alexa uses real people and objects to create living portraits as well as still life.
