Alexandra McLaughlin is known for painting expressive waterscapes that reflect her lifelong connection to Georgian Bay. A childhood spent running barefoot on the rocks, swimming off the dock, and boating around the largest freshwater archipelago in the world, fostered a special bond with the place that would eventually become her muse. She finds herself constantly in awe of the patterns, textures and interactions happening in nature and translates this seamlessly into vibrant, visceral paintings. Alex’s work is collected internationally, can be found in notable publications such as Create! Magazine and the I Like Your Work Summer Catalogue, was recently selected for the Society of Canadian Artists 2024 International Juried Show, and continues to gain recognition in her local community and beyond.
