Silver Twilight Studios
alexandria
Silver Twilight Studios is a one-person, two-cool-cat artist studio in eastern Washington. My name is Alexandria, but my friends call me Alex, and the younger generation mostly calls me Miss Alex.
Things that inspire me artistically are color, pattern, shape, texture, sound and emotion. All powered by luscious citrusy coffee.
Metalsmithing
Currently I am focusing on metalwork because I like making small wearable metal objects that make a personal connection possible, maybe tell a story, jazz up the uniform, be slightly audacious.
Sounds of metal tinking or clanking is true metal music.
Painting
I also love to draw and paint and workout with clay and take dazzling photographs, write poetry, so I’m also hanging out with large and small images on wood, or canvas, or paper, hammering and riveting metal on corners and other interesting places.
Photography
My family used to complain when I sent them pictures of a street, or a grate, or a skyline, or the cat-lings, but never people. Thank goodness I’m not a psychologist. But scapes just rev my antenna. Some of my travels are to places just so I can experience photographing spaces.
Poetry.pottery
Sometimes I can go a decade without writing poetry, and then, blam (highly descriptive word), feelings and thoughts just pour out.
And getting my hands in-the-muck is brilliantly satisfying and renewing, so when possible I sign up for the 2-hour studio Sip N’ Spin night at the local art co-op.
two PHOTOGENIC places: mexico & Iceland
although the MEDITERRANEAN takes honorable mention
It seems like it is impossible to take a bad photo in Mexico. Colors and light are quite vivid and lush, and there are myriad vignettes waiting to be discovered and captured “on film”. Plus life is crazy laid back.

Iceland is one of the few places I visit more than once. The space is simply raw. Glaciers and thermal waters, volcanic landscapes, geysers, Icelandic ponies, rainbows, and Northern Lights. Yum.
reykjavik
Such diversity. Trains, metros, boats. Rivers and an ocean. Vineyards and architecture. Taking a cooking class in Lisbon, making Pastel de Nada, learning to fold butter into the crust, repeatedly.

slightly west of spokane
I am a member of the Slightly West of Spokane artist group, a collective of west plains artists who are articulate and wildly creative in their work. You can find out more about our work and our twice yearly shows at the Slightly West of Spokane website for specific dates, time and place.

Silver twilight studios
I started taking drawing classes while living in Paris, France, which, to me, is one of the more inspirational places on this remarkable planet earth.
While living at Cooper artist live/work space in Seattle, I began the dive into metalsmithing, studying at the Pratt Fine Arts Center.
Earlier I attended the Portland School of Arts and Crafts focusing on hand built clay forms.
The Two Tails, Leo and Greyson, have been with the studio for eight years and are magnificent mascots for inspiration and creativity.
