We interviewed Alexandra Dillon at LA Art Show! She is a painter/sculptor and calls her work psychological surrealism. She paints imagined portraits on different objects, and each image reflects a unique personality. She described the process as: “My characters come to me the way a novelist’s do. They just show up and tell me who they are.”
