Alexandria Marie Compo is an interdisciplinary illustrator and designer, working in New York.
Her work is invested in whimsical portrayals of nature’s ordinary yet consequential lessons, through the use of narrative and allegory. She works in a variety of traditional and digital media in the areas of painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, and animation.
She credits the inspiration for her work to unconventional and nomadic childhood experiences and their backdrop against the St. Lawrence River, the Pocono and Adirondack Mountains, Lake Ontario and the snow-laden region of the Tug Hill Plateau. Consequently, she is a diligent student of the natural world and themes of growth, transformation and symbiosis frequent her work.
Alexandria holds a full-time position as a multimedia designer. She is also pursuing a career in children’s publishing and is represented by Sophie Sheumaker, ssheumaker@bookendsliterary.com at Bookends Literary Agency.
