Bio

Alex Golden attended William's College, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with honors in studio art in 2004. After graduating from Williams and working in Brooklyn as an artist's assistant to Liza Johnson, Alex spent a year studying drawing and painting in Toronto, Ontario. He is currently enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts program at Hunter College in New York City and expects to graduate in December of 2008.

Though still in school, Alex has exhibited his work intermittently in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Toronto, and New York. He has recently been presented to the Master's program at Christie's as a promising emerging artist, and he was also included in a presentation on the range of contemporary images of the Annunciation at Saint Elizabeth's College in Morristown, NJ. Alex's work is in many private collections, including that of renowned collector, Jean Pigozzi.
