Alex Stewart
Alex Stewart is a Fraser Valley-based environmental artist, muralist, and climber whose work explores the intersection of creativity, movement, and the natural world.
Alex has built a career blending stencil art, large-scale murals, and a deep commitment to environmental advocacy — all informed by his lifelong connection to landscapes, from coastal forests to vertical rock faces.
Stewart’s art reflects his reverence for nature, often depicting ethereal figures in harmony with their surroundings.
His murals — featured in events like the Vancouver Mural Festival and Burnaby Blooms Festival — transform spaces with narratives of ecological interconnectedness, including recent commissions for Progression Bouldering Gym, where his work bridges climbing culture and visual storytelling.
As a dedicated climber and coach, Stewart approaches both art and movement with the same philosophy: intentionality, adaptability, and respect for the environment. Whether guiding climbers through technical challenges or painting murals that advocate for conservation, he seeks to inspire others to engage deeply with the world around them.
Beyond the studio and crag, Stewart actively supports organizations like Surfrider Pacific Rim, The Ancient Forest Alliance, and One Tree Planted, donating a portion of art sales to conservation efforts. Through cleanups, trail stewardship, and public speaking, he champions the idea that creativity and climbing are not just pursuits — they’re ways to foster resilience and protect the places we love.
