A little about Alex:
Originally from Portland, Oregon Ms. Mitchell is no stranger to painting and sketching. Though she did not begin taking actual art classes until college she tells Generation You that she always had a knack for expressing herself through art ever since she was in the third grade. She says, "As long as I had a pen or pencil and some paper I was happy."
This weekend Mitchell entered into her first art showcase competition, the CAB Student Art Showcase on the UNC at Charlotte campus, entering three originally pieces; a sketch, a drawing in ink, and a painting. On the night of the results Mitchell sat anxiously waiting as the judges began to announce the winners for third place, second place, and then for first place. Mitchell's sketch "French Does It Better," a sketch that she drew in 4 hours with an ink-pen of a pair of luscious lips in the act of passionately kissing, took first place. After receiving her certificate and prizes, Generation You was able to pull her away from the excitement to ask her if she would be entering into anymore contests and with a giggle she said, "Oh yes, most definitely."
Mitchell plans on furthering her art career by selling her artwork, which I (Ashlei Elise) have personally purchased several of her original paintings, and then hopefully leading it up to designing tattoos and eventually owning her own tattoo shop and art gallery. Two thumbs goes up for Generation You's 'Fresh Face Generation Artist' Alex Mitchell.
