Alex Currie

Currently living in Ontario, Alex is an East Coast transplant who recently decided to fully embrace the multi-hyphenates of a lifelong creative. During a period of ups and downs, he noticed the one thing that tied his whole life together and made sense was the need to be generating something to express this creativity. During his 20s on the East Coast, he helped found a music collective that saw him placed at the center of the production, recording, promotion, and packaging of the artists involved. Being a group of people with less than zero funding meant that the do-it-yourself attitude & aesthetic wasn’t a choice but a necessity in moving forward. Alex has kept this ethos with him in everything he has taken a part of since. 

For the last 15 years and change, Alex has transferred these skills to the food and beverage world, including the co-founding of two food and beverage-based businesses and the co-founding of a successful food tourism festival that ran for many years. Using the skills required to be within these operations has often also seen Alex offering consultation, education, design, and promotion work for other individuals and businesses. 

After reconnecting with hand-produced artwork as a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression, Alex has been exploring a push into the realm of fine art with a redefined and invigorated drive to create “something”.
