Alexandra Malouta is a native of Houston, Texas. She completed BAs in Earth and Environmental Science and Studio Art at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, and later an MS in Geochemistry at Rice University. Her art focuses on translating the physicality of geologic processes and forms into paint. Her studies in geology, as well as her hobbies of cooking, dancing, and knitting have influenced the involved, physical, repetitive nature of her painting methods.
