Captured in Time

Like Frank Lloyd Wright, Alex Streeter found spiritual and artistic inspiration from Arizona's deserts. After many years as an artist and pioneer in New York City's Soho, Alex spends a lot of time in his working studio in Tucson Arizona, where he continues to be at the forefront of a burgeoning arts community as he works with other artists in downtown Tucson.
Tucson is a legendary town, the only city savvy enough to catch John Dilinger as he hid at the legendary Hotel Congress. Today, you can find Alex Streeter's art postcards for sale here and if you are lucky might find him enjoying a coca cola at the cowboy bar.
If not, he and many other local personalities, of which Tucson has many, are immortalized in a community art project, The Tucson Portrait Project. To explore, please visit the site:
