Alexandra Maria Foster

FOSTER, ALEXANDRA MARIAMADISON/BLUE MOUNDS-Alexandra (Allie, Alex) Foster, 33, died Sunday, November 22, 2015 at her Madison home.  Allie was born April 24, 1982 in Madison to Mark and Kathy Foster.  Her early years were lived in Madison, later moving to rural Blue Mounds and graduating from Wisconsin Heights H.S. in 2000.  Allie received an Associate in Arts degree in 2007 from M.A.T.C. and attended Viterbo University and U.W. Madison.  Her truest talent and passion was creating abstract art, sometimes free-hand, occasionally digital, which was exhibited in galleries at UW, VSA, and coffeehouses.  This work brought a unique depth and intelligence to our lives.  Allie enjoyed the natural beauty of her family farm as reflected in her photography.  She also enjoyed her dogs, the company of friends, and the solitude of reading.  Besides her parents, survivors include brothers Colin and Bran and their families, cousin Lise, aunt Patty, uncles Dave, Tim, Jim, Tom and their families.  Allie was preceded in death by her grandparents and maternal aunt, Mary.  A gathering of family and friends will take place at GUNDERSON WEST FUNERAL& CREMATION CARE, 7435 University Ave., Middleton from 1 – 3 pm on Saturday, December 12, 2015.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to NAMI Dane Co.
