Martyna Alexander is an artist based in Detroit. Originally, a designer working in corporate settings for over 10 years, she found her way to art through burn-out and a rejection of the rule-obsessed profession, while inherently using her design tools to create new non-practical works. Often comparing the strange harmony of the strict and systematic to the expressive, organic, and spontaneous - oppositions that mirror the many tensions of her interests and modern life.

She identifies with the fascination common among her generation for both positive tech and more traditional anti-tech activities and lifestyles, both expressed visually and as contradictions in her work. Her practice is an examination of labor and how to use our time to healthfully survive in society.

She is an alumnus of the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design, 2012.
