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 and species at risk which are impacted by human activities.
My interests in nature flourished so much that I decided to pursue a second career. I continue to paint as I now pursue a career in forestry after obtaining my HBSc in Forest Health and Protection at Lakehead University. I aspire to create a positive impact in the fields of forest health care and innovative wildlife habitat management.
I hope that this art may inspire 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.
