We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alexandria Scott. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alexandria below.

Hi Alexandria, thanks for joining us today. Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?

Ever since I can remember, making art has been my main hobby. More often than not, my parents could find me drawing a picture with my crayons or dabbling in watercolors given to me for Christmas. Creating has always felt less like a hobby and more like a way of life for me— something that I could never live without.
As I got older, I came to discover that I carry a lot of anxiety. At first, I saw it as a weakness. My sensitivity to people, to loud spaces, and even to the inner echoes of my mind made everyday socialization feel like a mountain I had to climb daily. Still, I tried to push through. That’s what adulthood looked like in my family: get a job, stick with it, don’t make waves. I thought if I focused on being “realistic” and sidelined my art, life would somehow get easier. But it didn’t. The more I distanced myself from painting, from repurposing thrifted treasures, and from expressing myself, the more I dimmed. I started spiraling. I wasn’t being true to who I was.
Then, my mother gave me the idea of selling the things that I made. Starting a business, turning my art into something sustainable? Some days, it felt possible. Other days, it felt like a faraway dream. I struggled with motivation and second-guessed every move. But recently…I said screw it. I dove in.
DreamHaze Studios is the home I built with my own bare hands and soft heart. It’s the manifestation of hard work, vulnerability, and some serious inner growth. Even the unglamorous stuff that makes it feel like work more than fun—balancing my finances, drafting marketing plans—has felt more fulfilling than any “normal” job I ever had. And that tells me something: I’m finally walking in the right direction.
I don’t know exactly where this path will take me, but for once, I’m excited.

Alexandria, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Hello everyone! My name is Alexandria Scott—Alex for short—and I’m a 22-year-old abstract artist, creator, and the heart behind DreamHaze Studios.
My earliest memories of art go all the way back to elementary school, where I’d eagerly lose myself during art time in kindergarten. While other kids finished quickly, I was still there, deep in the details, trying to bring everything in my imagination to life on paper. That moment was the spark, and ever since, my love for creating has only grown stronger.
Everything I know has been self-taught through curiosity, trial and error, and the encouragement of my art teachers over the years. I specialize in acrylic paintings, with a focus on emotional, abstract works that are deeply personal and uniquely one-of-a-kind. My art lives mostly on canvas, but I have dreams of exploring oil painting, gouache, pottery, and even graphic design in the future. There’s a whole universe of creativity I want to explore, and DreamHaze is only the beginning of that journey.
What sets me apart is my emotional sensitivity and the way I channel it into my work. I’ve always felt things deeply, and for a long time, that made life feel heavy. But art gave me a way to process it all—a safe space to feel, express, and heal. That’s the energy I want to share with others. If someone feels seen or comforted or inspired just by looking at it, then I’ve done what I came here to do.
DreamHaze Studios is more than a business. It’s my safe haven, and I hope it can be one for others too. A mirror for the parts of you that are too much to put into words. I’m most proud of the courage it took to bring this dream to life. A few years ago, I would never have imagined myself starting something like this, but here I am.
To anyone who comes across DreamHaze, I want you to know: you are seen. Even if I don’t know your name or your story, I hope you feel a part of yourself reflected in the colors, shapes, and textures of my work. This space is for you. To feel, to wonder, to heal, and to just be.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

I think the most rewarding part of being an artist is the community. Knowing there are so many people out there who, like me, pour their heart and soul into what they create, not just for the likes or recognition but because it’s a way of life. That shared passion is powerful to me. Of course, no community is perfect. There are habits we could all work on and patterns that need breaking, but the love and support artists show one another every day? It never fails to inspire me. Watching people cheer each other on, uplift one another’s work, and keep showing up despite the odds is genuinely motivating. It reminds me I’m not alone in this and that art doesn’t just connect us—it sustains us.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

DreamHaze Studios is the manifestation of my inner growth. Tangible proof of all the healing I’ve done through creativity. For me, channeling emotion into art wasn’t just therapeutic—it was transformational. And now, sharing that journey with others feels like the most natural next step.

My mission is to create art that helps people feel seen, held, and maybe even a little lighter. If someone finds comfort or clarity in one of my pieces, then I know I’m doing something right. One day, I’d love to open a physical studio and storefront—something people can walk into and feel the DreamHaze energy surround them. But honestly, as long as I’m reaching people and helping them connect to themselves through my work, I know I’m living out my purpose.
