2022 Artist of the Year

Picture
Alex Foster

Alex Foster is an interdisciplinary artist and educator, living and working in Roanoke VA. Foster works with traditional craft, natural dyes, and printing with plants on fabric to explore the human fallacy of separation- from the natural world and one another. Foster maintains an active teaching schedule sharing the fundamentals of natural dyeing and artistic practice with a breadth of audience including appointments at the Appalachian Center for Craft, the Visual Arts Center in Richmond and Floyd Center for the Arts. Foster is a co-director for the VALLT, a community nonprofit aiming to educate the public on diversity and inclusion by increasing the visibility of underrepresented artists whose work captures the dynamic intellectual and physical landscape of Roanoke. Foster also teaches elementary art in Roanoke City Public Schools.
