Alex Hirtzel is an Artist, Bee Activist and Science Communicator. Her multimedia work plays between science and art, linking references from scientific research, with historical artworks to create art pieces that tell a narrative that references today.

Her most recent artwork uses Augmented Reality to display the inner messages of each piece, inviting audiences to actively engage with the artwork and explore the narrative behind them.

The below video offers a taster of this technology in action

Alex is happy to discuss collaborations, exhibitions and private sales…

So delighted to grow this Fritillary for the first time in my gravel garden. It is from the Lilliaceae family and also known as the fox’s grape fritillary: such a beautiful name, there must be a great story behind this title!

I picked this aconite (eranthis hyemalis) from the garden and took it into my studio to draw. Early bird bees love this flower!
