About the Business
Alex was born on 30th June 1974 at the village of Shotley Bridge in county Durham in the North East of England. She is the eldest of two sisters and lives with her partner in a house close to the river Derwent. Never one to chase the limelight, Alex has always preferred her animals to do the talking. She has developed a deep affinity for the rolling countryside of her home that provides a backdrop to much of her work on sale today. Alex never went to art school, instead she studied biology at university in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, supplementing her grant money by painting in the evenings and then selling her work at craft fairs and local art exhibitions at weekends.
She first began printing her own greetings cards in a very small way in 1998 then grew her range slowly for a few years. In 2005 she made the decision to develop the card business in a bigger way and released 60 new cards.
