Hello!
My name is Alexandra Lalande and I grew up in Wahnapitae, Ontario. This beautiful and rural area greatly influenced my curiosity and respect for nature and wildlife. Upon pursuing a career in Toronto, I found a huge absence of the scenery I was so familiar with and I became very aware of the effects of consumerism and waste that was surrounding us. I had always enjoyed art class in high school, so I began painting on leaves in November of 2015 in hopes of raising awareness for waste reduction, species at risk, and nature impacted by human activities.
My interests in nature flourished so much that I decided to pursue a second career. I continued to paint throughout my studies in forestry and have since become a Registered Professional Forester with Forest Professionals British Columbia. I am now able to combine my scientific education with my passion for nature and wildlife. Most importantly, I hope this art may inspire curiosity, waste reduction, as well as nature and wildlife conservation for others.
Thank you so much for stopping by my website! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
