BIO
Alexa King has been a lifelong artist whose passion and talent combined to achieve success from the start of her career. Since early childhood, she became absorbed in drawing, combining her love of horses with a fascination for art. She has always owned horses and ponies so her intimate knowledge of anatomy and understanding of a horse’s gait gave her a unique perspective from which to create her sculptures. Her mother’s artistic eye and her father’s skills in construction provided the spring board for her to pursue her education in art by studying studio art as a painting major at Ball State University in her home town of Muncie, IN. Once she had established skills in creating three dimensional forms, she moved to Scottsdale, AZ where she cast her first bronze. This proved to be the launch pad for her career, which led to solo exhibitions at the Morris Douglas Fine Arts and Phippen O’Brien Gallery in Scottsdale. Her first major commission was to create a series representing the Pony Express for Nelson Rockefeller Collections in New York City. The memorial statue of 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, which stands at Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY, is probably her most famous piece and the one of which she is most proud. With so many commissioned pieces now on display around the world her creative impulse is never still; she begins each day with drawing before she sets to work on a sculpture at her home in Verona, Wisconsin.
