Artist Bio: Utah artist Alex Merrill (b. 1994) has been creating art her whole life, with an emphasis in oil painting since 2022. After taking a break from art for a few years, she found that creation is not only beneficial, but essential. Now, Alex creates as often as possible out of her Springville studio with her partner Drew and their three children. You can find more of her work at @artschooldropout.alex on Instagram.
