Alex Covert
Artist & Attorney
TOPIC MASTERCLASS:
Creative rest
Alex Covert is a self-taught painter, performer, sculptor, and workshop facilitator originally from the United States and currently based in Amsterdam.
Her work explores the power of vulnerability as she attempts to shed her conditioned layers to discover her authentic self. Her co-creation workshops support people from all walks of life to reacquaint themselves with their inner creator, connect with each other, and move through creative blocks. Her womxn-focused workshops aim to give space for all emotions, especially anger and sadness, with creative exercises aligning to further support expression.
Alex spent years leaning into her conditioning, convincing herself that she was not an artist, and working as a lawyer in New York. In 2017, she had an epileptic seizure which was eventually attributed by some of New York’s top doctors to sleep deprivation. This physical setback resulted in her completely changing her life, leaving New York, and eventually finding herself as a full-time artist in Amsterdam.
In Human Design, Alex is an emotional projector, meaning that rest is very, very important to her.
She likes to sleep between nine and eleven hours every night.
