Design Within Reach celebrated Alexandra’s talents with an installation of designs in August, 2008.  She debuted her latest project, a collection of wall hangings and home décor accessories inspired by the architecture, landscapes and shadows of Los Angeles at the DWR Studio on Beverly Blvd.

Alexandra has spent a lifetime creating art reflecting the natural curiosities that have surrounded her during weekend retreats to a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley.  She has also been influenced by her life in Los Angeles and her wonderfully artistic family.  As the granddaughter of Welton Becket, the architect who designed some of L.A.’s most famous landmarks (Capitol Records, the Music Center, the Beverly Hilton, the Pan Pacific Auditorium, etc.), she is influenced by the geometry of modernism, the sharp angles, graceful curvature and the relationship to the outdoor environment.  

Alexandra graduated with a B.A. in Studio Art from University of California, Santa Cruz and attended L’Accademia Delle Belle Arti in Bologna, Italy for a painting program.  While in Italy she began painting on fabric, which has become her signature medium.  Most designs are created on silk with water-based  paints.  Alexandra  is dedicated to recreating the colors, patterns and forms that inspire her in a personal and unique way.
