dreXeL's new works are all representative of a life hard-lived and the emotional rollercoaster of overcoming her own obstacles. Through her paintings and illustrations, dreXeL communicates about the subjects of poverty, drug addiction and near-death experiences that have plagued her past.

Known for her unorthodox use of materials and multiple layering, you're likely to find at least 4 different mediums in one of her paintings, one of which will always be spray paint.

Her artwork was recently on display at Bherd Studios in Seattle and is currently on the cover of Freestyle the Mag.
