At the Foot of the Superstitions by Artist Alexandria Winslow
Alexandria Winslow didn’t grow up in Southern Arizona, but when she arrived in 1982, she knew she had found home. The dramatic Sonoran Desert hit every high note her artist’s soul had longed for. Her lifelong passion for nature and wildlife flourished in this vivid, colorful landscape. Over time, she traded the earthy tones of her earlier work for the vibrant palette of the desert.

Although she began her art journey with oils and watercolor, acrylics soon became her medium of choice. She fell in love with their quick-drying nature, which allowed her to layer bold colors and build visual depth. Her creative process continues to evolve, driven by a deep love for the desert and the surrounding Southwest.
She hikes, camps and travels through Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, always gathering inspiration. Her paintings reflect both her journeys and a mindset of curiosity, connection and joy.
Her representational style—with a twist of whimsy—is heavily influenced by poster art, illustration and her background in graphic and interior design. Her work is colorful, playful and unmistakably hers.
Most recently, she’s been exploring the Day of the Dead, painting local wildlife and desert landscapes through that lens. With this series, she invites viewers to celebrate life and consider the importance of desert conservation.
