Lex was born in Tustin, CA and grew up North Carolina and Germany before returning to southern California in her late 20's. Moving around the globe greatly influenced her creative side, and she took art classes at every opportunity starting as young as 9 years old. Inspired by her years in medical school (before she quit the veterinary route), she has a certain affinity for capturing extreme versions of anatomy and loves hairless animals, horned beings, and grotesque, extreme beauty in alien forms. Lex makes a living as a freelance illustrator, gallery, and sketch artist and currently lives and works in the trendy Echo Park neighborhood in Los Angeles, California.
