Elayna Alexandra is an award-winning artist who creates out of her home studio in Flagstaff Arizona. She believes that art is a powerful medium for communication, self-knowledge, and healing.  Elayna also feels that this expression of creativity should be a part of every day life. After twenty-two plus surgeries for her disability Pseudarthrosis, she knows that finding a voice, which she has found through art, and using it to express oneself and connect with others is part of what makes our lives valuable and important. Flodin creates digital archival prints in a process of combing layers of her own photography, artwork and personal x-rays through Photoshop and Illustrator. She also works in acrylic, watercolor, oils and many other mixed medias that are often worked into her digital prints. Recently Elayna has begun serious work on exploring more and more of the world through the lens of her Canon 50D and is working on several bodies of new work that will either stand alone or become part of her digital compliations. In Flodin’s artwork she exposes the hidden parts of life and draws attention to life’s many layers and complexity bringing softness to hardness and beauty to trauma.
