Alexa Eisner is a Brooklyn-based artist working in sculpture, installation, painting, video, and performance. Rooted in modern dance, her practice explores how movement, memory, and bodily presence transfer into objects, materials, and space. She has shown work in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, and London, including LAX Festival with LA Performance Practice, Castelli Art Space, and IDEO's Reimagine Series, and completed a residency at Despina Gallery in Rio de Janeiro. Her professional background spans styling and interior design, and she is the founder of Keep It Clear, a creative prompt deck for reflection and expression. She holds an MA in Communication & Rhetorical Studies from Syracuse University and a BA from UC Berkeley, and is currently pursuing an MFA in Integrated Practices at Pratt Institute (2027).
