Alex Landon Richardson: Art with a Purpose
Richardson created the "Global Ocean Series" during the Covid-19 pandemic shutdowns, a time when the world felt both isolated and interconnected. The series depicted one shoreline from every continent, emphasizing the unifying power of the ocean. Remarkably, 50% of the proceeds from the original series went to families in need during that challenging time, demonstrating Richardson's commitment to using her art for good. Through extensive research on each continent while creating this series, the artist developed a sense of connectedness to the world around her. The focus on the global body of water was a way of seeing the world as brought together by one great ocean which touches every shoreline of every landmass.
