A little about me
Hello! My name is Alexandra Harrison and I'm a small part-time artist from Stockport, UK. I'm 23 years old and pursuing a creative career has always been something i was interested in from a young age!
I always loved drawing and painting , I studied art in high school GSCE, and then went on to study it at college as an A-Level. I always knew i wanted to do something creative for a career , but felt a little lost about what i would do when i left college.
I worked a full time waitress job for about a year and a half , then decided to travel and live in Australia for 7 months! It was such an amazing experience and i did a lot of photography when i was there, but kind of put the paining/drawing on the back burner.
When i came home , i was even more lost and unsure of what i wanted career wise. But i started to get back into painting while i was temporarily unemployed. I started to post on Instagram and show my friends , and i had people start asking me for commissions ! This is when i started to think that this is something i could turn into a job as people wanted my art and services!
Fast forward to now, the past year i really focused on commission paintings, creating more art and selling prints, and i cant believe I'm making money from my passion. Thankyou so much for all the support :)
