This work is a still life I centred around the braid of hair hanging out of the vase. It’s my hair, cut off before getting my head tattooed. When I look at my hair, I see years of personal history, captured in every millimetre in every strand. It feels odd to be parted with it, and painting it helpe...

I am Alex Snelgrove, a Canadian woman living in Brooklyn. Painting is my for-most art practice, mostly oils on canvas, but some acrylic.
I have been an artist my whole life and I’m a continuation of my mother, Marcia Pensa, who is an accomplished artist.
The still life format appeals to me for many reasons. At first glance, it is accessible, calming and interesting. It is a good framework to showcase my realistic style as well.
Still lifes also allow me to explore and re-contexualize objects. Creating a story with items is the true pleasure of these works of art. With a nod to the theme ‘Memento Mori’, I love to balance the composition with reminders that life is ephemeral. The objects I use can give hints about the life that used and loved them.
My 15 year career as a tattoo artist has been incredibly demanding of my creative time and space, and it is also a huge influence on my art. The nature of my work demands self discipline, study, and actualization that has served me in my painting career as well.
