Interdisciplinary Artist & Creative

Alexandra Comb is an Artist, Educator and Creative Director from Maryland. Her work is rooted in process. She approaches art as an unfolding conversation rather than a finished product.

Alexandra's work explores femininity, not as an internal trait, but as something that exists outside of the self. Within intimates and the quiet details of daily life. A hidden softness, a deliberate fragility.

Her stained-glass work mirrors her evolving relationship with femininity, fractured, reshaped, and redefined. She aims to create space where femininity is not something lost, but something built with intension, care, and permanence. Through paint, glass, clay, and more, Alexandra creates a tangible manifestation of what is often unseen. She urges viewers to engage with process and reflect on their own connection to softness and intimacy.
