Ep.27 – The Natural World as Seen and Expressed by Alex Beard

Sometimes, its best to quote a guest's website-- this is the bio listed at http://www.alexbeardstudio.com

American painter and author Alex Beard is best known for his elaborate wildlife compositions created in his signature style of gestural painting, which he has coined “Abstract Naturalism.”

Fueled by curiosity about the cultures and wildlife he had been exposed to in his early years, Alex has spent much of his life traveling to the some of the world’s most remote wildlife outposts - paintbrush in hand. His time in nature enables him to continually hone his style – creating complex compositions in which abstraction and figuration collide, while exploring themes of cultural and environmental interconnectivity.

Alex’s studio in the heart of the New Orleans’ Art’s District is both the creative hub of his artistic practice and a successful enterprise.

The studio is open to the public to encourage and foster interaction between the artist and his audience.
