ABOUT ME
alex williams (she/they) is an Artist, Educator, and Abolitionist, who has been igniting creative fires and emboldening closeted artists since 2017. She helps people feel energized to take action on their wildest (or tamest) project ideas, unearth their inner artistic wisdom, and assists in breathing life into creative visions. A lifelong artist, educator, athlete, and hobbyist fermenter, alex loves to surprise the community with their pop-up interactive in-person creative experiences. A multipotentialite and polymath, she will learn how to do anything, and then teach you how to do it, too, because DIY and community-building is their jam. When alex isn’t teaching art techniques to creatives or carving up a block of linoleum, she’s outside exploring, or at the gym on plastic rocks, or sipping her favorite hot cocoa indulgence from Ginger Elizabeth (with marshmallows AND whipped cream), or experimenting with some delightful combination of materials to craft a fabulous new art piece in her studio at Broad Room, or dismantling internalized capitalism and patriarchy. She would LOVE to support you in igniting your creative fire!
