ALEXANDRA FARBER
Ballet dancer, choreographer, and visual artist living and working in Fort Worth, Texas since 2011. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., trained in classical and contemporary dance, life drawing, painting, and composition. Emerging collage artist seeking to explore the in-between spaces of visual art and movement. Interested in the creation of art for charity and activism purposes. 


Blue walks is a series of action paintings inspired by nature and the oceanic tides that unite us as creatures of the earth.  Extremely simple in monotone color palette and minimalist design, these works were created with prints made by dancing along the page in pointe shoes, combining two of my most practiced disciplines.
