Alex Carr is an artist in Philomont, Virginia. She paints in watercolors "because of the wonderful sense of light that can be captured with transparent painting techniques on paper". When living in Colorado, Alex sold her work in a variety of galleries including the Running Horse Gallery in Colorado Springs, Commonwheel Artists Coop in Manitou Springs and the Studio Ten-O-Five in Old Colorado City.   Since moving to Virginia, she has been featured in the Rose Gallery in Leesburg and Gallery 222. Her work has also been shown at juried shows such as the "Art at the Mansion" in Morven Park, Leesburg, the "Oatlands Four Seasons Art Show" at Oatlands Plantation and the "Millwood Art Show" in Clarke County Virginia.

Alex has a degree in Studio Art from Wellesley College in Wellesley Mass. She offers art instruction in drawing, pen and ink, illustration, pastels, and her primary medium, watercolor.   Art instruction is offered in private, semi-private, and small group classes.  Students receive a high degree of individual attention and personalized instruction.  There are classes available for teens and adults at all skill levels.
