Hello

At Alx Creations, I create stunning glass and mixed media art inspired by history and memory. My art celebrates the beauty of the past while bringing it into the present. As an experienced glass and mixed media artist, I use a variety of techniques and mediums to create unique pieces that aim to be both beautiful and inspiring. In addition, I run arts for wellbeing workshops in the community, where participants can explore their creativity and discover the therapeutic benefits of art.

My Story

As a mixed media and glass artist, my journey has been one of lifelong love and dedication. During my time at  Manchester Metropolitan University I studied Three Dimensional Design which laid the foundation for my passion for both glass and design.
Both the delicacy and the resilience of glass have always captivated me. Its ability to refract light, to hold both transparency and opacity and to capture stories like ghosts of the past inspires the way I work. Through my work, I seek to explore new ways of working with materials, pushing the boundaries and blurring lines between various mediums. 
I strive to breathe life into my creations, transforming stories from my imagination into tangible works of art. My work draws inspiration from individual and collective stories and memories. I believe that art has the power to transcend boundaries, to evoke emotions, and to ignite conversations. It is this belief that fuels my passion and drives me to create art that resonates deeply with viewers. By evoking memories and eliciting curiosity, and introspection, I hope to invite viewers to contemplate their own interpretations and perspectives.
Beyond my individual body of work, I am driven by a deep-rooted passion to connect with the broader community. Embracing public art as a means of engagement, I strive to captivate and inspire individuals from all walks of life. Whether it be through large-scale installations or site specific works of art, I aim to enhance communal spaces, evoking a sense of wonder, unity, and creativity that resonates with both locals and visitors alike. Moreover, I firmly believe in the transformative power of art in improving well-being. Recognising the inherent therapeutic qualities of artistic expression, I am committed to delivering arts for well-being programs to groups across the North. These initiatives provide a safe, nurturing environment for individuals to tap into their creativity, fostering personal growth, self-discovery, and mental wellbeing.
