Alexandra Laderman

Alexandra Laderman is an emerging impressionistic, landscape oil painter based in Southern California. Her work explores the beauty of the fallibility of memory and how nostalgia shapes the perception of the world. Creating pieces that replicate the process of how memory can distort the recalled image. Inspired by numerous family vacations that found her surrounded by nature during her developmental years. Alex’s work has been showcased in several juried exhibitions at the “Light Space & Time Online Gallery” featuring her landscape paintings. She has obtained a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Laguna College of Art and Design and is currently working on a series of paintings depicting Bishop, California. 

I am a landscape painter that primarily works with oil paint on canvas or panel, but I also create digital illustrations. I start my process by drawing in the composition with either charcoal or paint before mixing the main colors I use in the piece, then I start to paint by scumbling in the first layer of paint to differentiate the compositional forms, after and over several sessions I would build up color and form with multiple layers of opaque paint until I finish the painting to my satisfaction. I use art as a form of self expression to create tributes of the ideas and memories that I care for so dearly. I create these tributes to allow other people to better understand the essence of myself and my beliefs.
