I dug this one up to show my son and I thought it would be fun to add to my blog! I made this in Animation 1 in college. I am still interested in the same themes and have the same sketching style haha.
I am so excited to announce my solo exhibition at the Ludington Arts Center! It will be very exciting to see so many pieces in one place. They have a beautiful gallery, and this should be a fun exhibit. I hope some of you are able to visit!
This is a very special, and exciting exhibition for Kalamazoo. I hope you are able to see it.
My newest piece, Sol is now finished. It is made of my grandmother’s jewelry, handmade watercolor, a fused glass leaf (made in my studio) and 24k gold. She represents the sun and is a counterpart to Luna.

Join us on May 7th for an open studio event! I live off of Q ave right down the street from Texas Corners (closer to Portage). I live down a long driveway, you can’t see the house from the road. I will have a balloon and sign at my mailbox. Don’t be scared! Come visit my studio and see my work in person! I would love to see you.
The Texas Corners Farmers Market opens on this date! If you come before noon, you can go to the farmers market, too!
I am so excited to release these pieces by Hopiroots and myself! See the rest of the collaboration, here.
I had a lovely visit with my apprentice Michelle Bradway last night. Here are some photos she took while visiting. I have began to set out my palette for my next collection release.

“Alexa Karabin doesn’t buy tubes of paint at the art store for her unique paintings. She makes her own pigments – and not out of the usual materials...”
Michelle Bradway, my photographer in residence and apprentice took these lovely macro photographs of Luna while visiting the studio during our weekly studio visit.
She also took impromptu photographs of my mother and I hugging for the first time in over a year! They really are great photographs. Visit Michelle Bradway Photography to find out more about Michelle and her wonderful art.
