Manhattan native Alex Beard is a painter, writer, and traveler and has emerged as one of his generation's most creative and successful artists. Alex's work has been shown in one-man exhibitions in New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, and many places in between. His drawings and paintings are scattered in private collections from Japan to the West Indies and are in museum permanent collections and on public and private walls around the world.

In 1995, he began a ten year stint in New Orleans where he studied at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Art, opened a gallery in the French Quarter, married and became a father. In 2006, Alex returned to his roots in Manhattan and opened the Alex Beard Studio in SoHo.

Alex Beard's pieces have many different influences. As he states in an interview in the Times-Picayune in 2008, "All the whimsy, all the color, and a good bit of the oddity come from New Orleans." His paintings and drawings are overflowing with bright colors and fantastical creatures.
