Alex (b.1989) is a talented local artist, whose art has evolved from happy times at the Royal School for Deaf Children in Margate through to his time attending the Art4all Studio.

Alex is deaf, autistic and non-verbal and uses British Sign Language.  Although he struggles to communicate, he projects his emotions through his colourful, bold artwork.  Art has given Alex a purpose, increased his confidence whilst keeping him calm and focused.  His highly popular art has brought much happiness into his life.

Alex is a self-taught drawer of skyscrapers, local landmarks and on topic themes with an easily recognisable style.  Alex perfects his work spending many hours outside of the studio drawing with the encouragement of his family.  Through the Art4All workshops, themes, colour and composition guidance has seen Alex’s paintings develop further ultimately providing an outlet for it to be sold.

His paintings have found new homes in as far afield places as Australia.  Whilst the process of painting provides Alex with pleasure the complete canvas to exhibition has proven to be a great motivator.
