Message
Their world opened upon moving to Lafayette, Louisiana. Lex not only found the language to understand their identity, but also the courage to publicly present as a queer person. Lex’s creative practice works through complex themes of elation and peril from the evolving perspective of a southern queer creative. Lex’s willingness to share personal vulnerabilities fosters a connection with the viewer, transcending physical distance to share common experiences through art.
Recently, Lex’s work was featured in local and national juried exhibitions The 61st Annual Juried Competition, Cur Non, and Eye of the Beholder. They also presented solo exhibitions The Human Condition and Wildflowers. In 2023 they were awarded the ArtSpark Individual Artist Grant.
