Friends of the Fernandina Beach Library Presents: Todd Alexander: Works on Paper

Fernandina Beach, FL — October 2026 — Local contemporary artist Todd Alexander will share his Works on Paper at the Fernandina Beach Library from December 8, 2026 to January 22, 2027. Featuring artwork curated specifically for the Friends of the Fernandina Beach Library show, the smaller, accessible works on paper will include his unique use of layered surfaces, gestural marks, and atmospheric fields of color that invite viewers into spaces of contemplation rather than explanation.

“My paintings aren’t meant to tell viewers what to think,” says Alexander. “They create a place where thought slows down and awareness begins. The work exists somewhere between the quiet unfolding of consciousness and presence.”

Born into a family of artists, at a young age Todd experimented with watercolor and oil mediums, as well as hand-thrown pottery. He then pursued scientific and medical illustration at the University of Georgia, working afterward to produce anatomically driven creations for the medical industry.

For the past 25 years, Todd’s creativity has evolved exploring alternative ways to express himself and his subjects. Todd has used encaustic, mixed media, collage, plexiglass and oils throughout his many series. Todd allows no boundaries. For him, it’s not about the finished product as much as the journey, discovering emotions and sharing them. His works have been commissioned and acquired by private and public collections nationally and internationally.

This show offers a unique opportunity for the residents of Fernandina Beach to experience a new body of work, in person, from one of our community’s most acclaimed contemporary creatives. We are fortunate to have a visual artist the caliber of Alexander living and working in our midst. You will be impressed not only with his thoughtful and creative execution, but also his sincere desire to share his work with his neighbors. An opening reception on December 17 at 5:30 will give you a chance to meet Mr. Alexander and possibly own one of his pieces.
