Alexander Lyon, 12, Sculptor

Alexander has never been without a mischievous moment since age three. An intrepid explorer, he went searching for the gingerbread man in the oven, Mr. Clean in the washing machine, and Santa in the fireplace--only to emerge with a faceful of soot! His most embarrassing moment was face planting in the snow while skiing and being so confused he just lay there. Once, while making sure his older sister didn’t get lonely in the bathroom, he sat on the trashcan and got his bottom stuck! Today, he loves everything old except for phones. He loves movies so much he would like to live in them one day (as an actor). When he moves out of his parent’s house (or “pandemic prison”), he would love to build a house like Iron Man’s. He would also like to build his own DeLorean as he loves all things retro, including Back to the Future, the Beatles, ACDC, and Elton John. His favorite era is the eighties because it was the start of a new age of music, cars, and all the awesome gadgets we have today. To celebrate this, his closet is papered in 80’s cassette tape wallpaper.
