The Artist

Courtney Alexander is currently a senior student at USF majoring in studio art. Anticipating her graduation in the Fall of 2015, she plans to pursue a Masters in Fine Arts degree and use art as a platform to create raw and candid dialogue in the arena of body politics, race, and feminism. Alexander attempts to dig into issues of duality, hyper sexuality, and self-awareness. It is a much more personal dialogue which serves to create vulnerability and explore the complex nature of her existence. She is inspired by her experiences at the intersection of being fat, black, and female in a modern world. Her paintings and sculptures are abstract and experimental, allowing for a more tactile sensory experience.
