In 2008 Bex met Caleb Baukol and started an independent boutique ski manufacturing company called “Big Wood Ski.”  Caleb and Bex fell deeply in love and began a life together. Caleb’s suicide in 2016 sent Bex into a period of depression wherein she brought forth her tools as an artist and created an art installation about the nature of impermanence. Although Bex had virtually written off the possibility that she would ever be an artist, in this traumatic time of grief, she found her training as an artist, resurfaced, and pulled through the unimaginable. She created an art installation with various multi-media art and artists just one year after Caleb’s death. Art, more now than ever, became a healing expression for Bex and sparked her to focus her time on being a dedicated, practicing artist for the first time in her adult life. Bex welcomes you to “The Mad-House”:  a digital representation of her life-long dedication to creativity, spirituality and the healing properties of self expression.
