Alexandra Samios
Poems

The daughter and granddaughter of Swedish and Greek immigrants, Alexandra Samios was born in Connecticut and grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, moving to central Illinois as a teen. They studied visual art at the University of Illinois and the Hochschule fur Angewandte Kunst in Vienna.

Originally working strictly in visual media under the name Alex Nelson, Alexandra specialized in works on paper, with monumental works in corporate and private collections as well as numerous solo and group shows throughout the Midwest. The artwork that preceded the focus on poetry was text based, using the written word both graphically and as literal text.
