About Alexandra Newbould

Alexandra Newbould drawing on a tablet

Alexandra Newbould is a Canadian courtroom sketch artist with over two decades of experience documenting high-profile criminal and civil proceedings. Her work has been published by major news organizations and is commissioned when visual access to courtrooms is restricted.

Before the courtroom came the studio. Alexandra trained as a classical painter, and that grounding in figure, likeness and light shapes every sketch she makes under deadline. Her courtroom art runs on CBC, CTV and Global, and she has been interviewed about her work on The National.
