Executive Director: Presley Alexander
Presley Alexander is a creative, driven arts professional rooted deeply in the Quincy community. Raised in Southern California, she followed a calling to the mountains in 1996, arriving in Quincy to join the horse program at Feather River College. She holds an Associate of Science degree in Equine Studies, a Certificate in Entrepreneurial Business, and most recently completed an online certification in Art Therapy. Presley brings nearly two decades of professional and entrepreneurial experience, blending creativity with practical leadership.
Quincy proved an easy and lasting fit. Drawn to the rhythms of small-town life, a supportive community, and boundless wilderness, Presley built a life here—raising her daughter, welcoming her mother to the area, and putting down lasting roots. She is a familiar and trusted presence locally, working with regional farmers and the Feather River Food Co-op, leading community workshops in cob building and watercolor painting, and actively participating in the cultural fabric of the town.
Presley is also a working artist and the founder of Manifest Station Studio. Her distinctive, award-winning body of work ranges from intricate torch-cut steel lamps to vibrant paintings, featured in high-end restaurants and curated spaces around the world—spanning all but two continents.
Joining Plumas Arts feels like a natural homecoming. Presley is honored to contribute to an organization that uplifts local culture and creativity, and she brings enthusiasm, care, and a strong organizational backbone to the work. She thrives on supporting fellow artists, shaping big ideas into reality, and keeping the behind-the-scenes systems running smoothly as Plumas County’s creative story continues to evolve.
