For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books.

WhenAlexandra took a local art class, her teacher wasamazed at the young artist’s unusual style ofpainting. Alexandra’s work was similar in someways to the paintings by famous artists likePicasso.

People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the artsin schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.34.
