About Alexandra Stevenson:
​This series of small landscapes was initially inspired by a long commute between Chicago and a far Northwest suburb where I taught art and English classes. To pass time on the way home from work, I tried to memorize particular color combinations in the sky and fields that I would paint on weekends when I retreated to my Ravenswood, Chicago studio. As a Chicagoan, I find repose in a flat open horizon, the dominant line of my world --  the grounding line of the Illinois prairie and the place where water meets sky on Lake Michigan.
