About Alex
Alex Adamo is a mixed media maker, a wide eyed-globetrotter,

Alex made her way to Massachusetts to pursue her love
of storytelling through photography.
Until recently, she spent her days teaching afterschool in Cambridge
and conducting art events for babies, kids, and adults at hip local venues.
Then the world changed, and she took her art instruction online!
Currently, she's running Alex Makes Art full-time,
hosting virtual classes and events for the coolest kiddos in the world.
She also does private lessons, home design projects, and guest artist lectures regularly.
Through Alex Makes Art, she's creating a unique virtual
