Alexandra Lang is a 20 year old student and 2008 graduate of Lodi High School. She currently attends San Joaquin Delta College and Body Tune Up School of Massage Therapy and works as a part-time hostess at a local restaurant. Her interests in art have been a lifelong passion. We asked Alexandra what drew her to have such a profound interest in the arts. She answered, "I guess it's just something in my blood." "Everyone in my family is creative and has some type of artistic ability." Upon gathering a bit of information about Alexandra's family history and upbringing we could see the connection. Her great grandmother, Mabel Myers, was a well known artist most of her life locally, nationally and internationally in various mediums. To this day, she still has paintings hanging in galleries world wide. In an undated manuscript Mabel was quoted as saying, " The one compelling force in my life has been the field of art.". She attended college, raised two daughters and began the serious study of art. She gave countless years of work to an international sorority, Beta Sigma Phi, for which she received an award for service to youth. During her lifetime she accumulated numerous awards and gained recognition in publications such as The World Who's Who of Woman, Dictionary of International Biography, and Who's Who of American Woman. She was also a member of the National League of Penwomen, Stockton and Lodi Art Leagues, Stockton Fine Arts Gallery and the Society of Western Artists. Her art is displayed in fine art galleries and private collections in England, Ireland, Japan, Arabia, Canada, the Aleutian Islands and 11 states in the USA. To capture the essence of nature she painted on location in remote areas of the US, Canada, Mexico and especially in the desert of the great southwest. Mabel passed away in July of 1993.
