Artist: Alex Turner, 20

• Alex and I went to the same high school (Dartmouth High) and he's currently a student here at Lasell.
• He was an AP art student in DHS, which has a stellar art program, and he's continued to develop his skills now in college. 
• He's only done a few silk paintings, but he's already shown a great aptitude for the medium and has developed his own style. All of his paintings are one of a kind and some can be found on Etsy for sale (He also does commissions, if anyone's interested.)
• I'm drawn to his work because the unique medium and the amount of skill and knowledge and patience it takes to make even one piece. It's a really impressive and difficult job.
