CURRENT MISSION Grow, connect, express creativity, to be calm, healthy and free—Hi, my name is Alexandra, I love to paint, read, play music, go outside, and spend time in the sun. I am of Greek and Norwegian heritage, but American born. I currently live in the 6 million acre Adirondack State Park in northern New York State. It’s an extraordinarily wild and beautiful place. I have a calm And quiet demeanor, but I enjoy connecting with people through shared interests and philosophies.
