Alec Simpson

Alec Simpson’s studio experience began as a young teenager attending Saturday classes at the Corcoran School of Art. During high school, it stopped. It was not until very much later as an adult that he was re-introduced to art making through creating monotypes at the Art Thomas Studio in Charleston, South Carolina and at Pyramid Atlantic with Helen Frederick when it was located in Riverdale, Maryland.

Since then, Simpson has had the opportunity to work with and/or talk to and learn from a number of master artists as he explored various media including Mindy Weisel, Joyce Wellman, Brandon Graving, Lou Stovall, Michael Platt, Susan Goldman, Sam Gilliam and Romare Bearden.
Although Simpson holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Comparative Arts (focused on the history and aesthetics of the arts), he likes to think of himself as working to create artworks closer to the traditions of self-taught visionary artists rather than those of the academy.

“Overall, for me, my work presents the opportunity for exploration, adventure, discovery, and self expression.  It is my hope that the works act as symbols of empowerment and courage as we each address with triumph and victory whatever challenges come our way.”
