Born in Vienna in 1976, Aleks Crossan has cultivated a life rich in artistic exploration.
As a Swiss-American, her diverse heritage infuses her work with a blend of global perspectives and grounded realism. Aleks honed her artistic talents at Zurich-Tanz-Theater-Schule (ZTTS) from 1997 to 2000, setting the stage for a vibrant, multi-disciplinary career.
Aleks’s professional journey is marked by versatility and innovation. She founded the successful Earthphish Dance company in 2001, leading it until 2006. Simultaneously, she delved into the world of music composition with her band Earthphish, which has been active since 2002.
Now residing in Hobart, Tasmania, Aleks’s artistic focus has shifted to painting, where she excels in contemporary abstract art. Her work is a dynamic blend of instinct and relationship, often drawing from her musical background to enhance the visual experience.
Her notable exhibitions include the solo show “LOUD” at the Social Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre, and “Dreamwork,” a live art performance at Contemporary Art Tasmania.
In 2022, Aleks furthered her artistic development through a mentorship program with MONA curator Trudi Brinckman.
Aleks Crossan’s work is in private collections in Belgium, Switzerland, and Australia.

“Crown Sculpture. I LOVE Crowns, I don't know what it is about them. They are powerful, magical, connected to Fairytails and stories, fun to draw, wondrous....holding a crown changes how I stand, how I feel....it gives me confidence.”
“Who wouldn't want a colourful crown like this???? I think it’s something amazing that hasn't been seen before. I am SUCh a fan of these crowns and hope they become a very saught after object!”
Aleks Crossan, 2025.
