Alex is a professional artist whose work can be seen in various galleries and museums across the country. He is also one of the official, and rare, Copyists with the Louvre Museum in Paris. Being granted unlimited access to paint inside the Louvre Museum, he has created his own renditions of the artworks inside the Louvre, including the Mona Lisa. His recently published book, “Selling Leonardo: The Art World’s Greatest Scandal”, is a memoir based on his experiences there and how he came across the people involved with the world's most expensive painting to ever be sold.

My talks are generally 45 minutes in length, and I leave the remaining 15 minutes for Q&A from the audience. That being said, I will always stay late to make sure that I have answered every question from the audience. I do not charge extra for staying late to answer these questions. Giving talks on art and art history is a deep passion of mine, and I love to share what I know with people that are interested.
Hello and welcome! I am a professional artist and author who gives art-based lectures ranging from Leonardo da Vinci, to Pablo Picasso, to Contemporary Art. I am currently signed to three professional art galleries, and my artwork is in the collection of several museums across the US. In addition to this, I am also an official Art Copyist with the Louvre Museum in Paris. This experience led me to paint my own renditions of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Saint John the Baptist paintings.
As an author, I received a traditional book deal to write my memoir which was released in April 2023. The name of my book is 'Selling Leonardo: The Art World's Greatest Scandal'. Many art enthusiast groups have brought me out to speak to them on this intriguing topic. Currently I have recently passed the peer reviewed process for a research essay I wrote on Leonardo da Vinci. My research paper is scheduled to be published in an academic journal this coming May. You can also read my weekly column at (link hidden).
Since I give talks on art and art history I only need a place to connect my laptop and for the host location to have a projector so I can display my presentation.

I am greatly influenced on the traditional lecture model. I also love to have my talks be interactive where audience members are able to participate during the lecture if they desire.
