Alexsandra Babic accrued her desire for art as she immigrated to the United States in 1959. She could not speak English, art became her primary form of communication and only language here. Art has remained her first love and passion. Growing up in the mid-west, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. and living in California since 1973, she has always been inspired by nature and prefers organic form around her. Alexsandra's work is influenced by realism and impressionism. Her European background prompted her to study classical art, focusing on the figure. She now chooses painting landscapes, still life's, and portraits. Alexsandra prefers to paint with oil or watercolor. Her signature on her paintings is "Sasha" a personal and intimate nick name from her heritage. Sasha states: " With every painting, I hope to evoke an emotional response from the viewer with a particular subject, time of day, atmosphere or space".
