Hello

I’m Alexa Bowen, a Character Animation graduate from the University of Central Florida and current Character FX student at Gnomon School of Visual Effects. I’m an artist driven by story, emotion, and the technical challenge of bringing those to life through effects, modeling, and compositing.

​

Art and storytelling have always been how I make sense of the world. From illustrating murals and photography to building short film effects, I love uncovering beauty and meaning in every perspective — even in the “villains” of a story. My favorite characters are the complex ones who blur the line between good and bad, because they remind us that gray areas are where the most humanity exists.

​

Before art became my full-time pursuit, I learned teamwork and resilience as a National Champion in Acrobatic Gymnastics and State Champion in Fastpitch Softball. Those experiences taught me focus, communication, and calm under pressure — skills I now bring to creative collaboration on short films and production projects.

​

Originally from Maryland, I’ve been fortunate to travel widely and find inspiration in nature — swimming with dolphins, whale sharks, and manta rays among them. When I’m not creating, I’m often reading, sketching, or watching stories I can’t wait to someday help make.
