Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexandra Grace Reichert.
Hi Alexandra Grace, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve loved art since I was a child, ever since I can remember I’ve always been drawing or painting something, I have also been traveling my entire life which has inspired a lot of my work. I really started to take it seriously during the pandemic. I posted my art on social media and started getting a good amount of attention. WMOA ( Whataburger Museum Of Art) reached out and wanted to feature my artwork in their digital gallery, after they did a bunch of people reached out with interest in my work. I’ll be launching my website soon featuring a digital gallery with all of my work!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Things have definitely happened that are discouraging, not getting accepted into certain art shows, artist’s block for long periods of time, etc. Overall it’s been a good experience, and I’m very lucky.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Currently, I am primarily an acrylic painter dabbling in mixed media, if I had to describe my art, I would say it’s colorful and fun. I love bright colors, and I also love mythology I’ve painted a few mermaids so far and one of them is currently being displayed at a local Hyatt Hotel, I would say I’m pretty proud of that! I don’t know how unique this is for an artist but I’m very casual, not overly professional. I like talking to people as if they are just friends I haven’t met yet. People who reach out wanting custom art made, I love to chat and be creative with the person to perfectly capture their idea in the best way possible.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Kindness. it sounds so simple but I think that is were a lot of people go wrong, in most professions, people look at someone doing the same job as “The Competition” ( sure, technically) and don’t want said “Competition” to succeed or are jealous and angry towards that person if they do succeed, I’ve experienced people who are rooting for me to fail. You could not pay me to be in the same room as those people. The moral of the story is… you will get further in your career and life if you are genuinely happy for other people when they do succeed.
