Alex is a humble man of few words, but says he is inspired by having the freedom to express himself through art. That sanctuary is something Alex has admirably made time for, working on the paintings around a physically demanding full-time job as a delivery truck driver, often on 10-12 hour shifts.
‘Love & Light’ is a Friends of Metro Venue Hire exhibition.
