Beyond Artwork
I’m Alexis Marie
Welcome to my Studio!
I am an expressive portrait artist born and raised in California who enjoys painting realism with a touch of ethereal surrealism.
Since the age of 5, I have always had a deep love for creating artwork. However, my passion for art deepened after witnessing my grandfather's artistic abilities get praised at age 10. Despite creating art my entire life, it wasn't until 2021 that I fell in love with expressive painting. For the first time, I wanted to share my new painting discovery with the rest of the world.
As an artist, my goal is not just to create something pleasing to the eye and soul, but to highlight calmness to show that there is still hope even in the midst of chaos.
"A journey that started with curiosity and ended with love, fulfillment, and joy!"

Self Discovery
How It All Began:
When I look back on my childhood, one thing that stands out is my love for realism drawing. It all started with studies of my favorite animals - and grew into feminine and expressive portraits. Hours would go by without me noticing as I lost myself in the world of pencils.
But it wasn't until I discovered nature's beauty that my art began to flourish. The intricate details of leaves, the vibrant colors of flowers, and the majestic ocean all inspired me. I fell in love with painting, and combining expressive portraits with nature captivated me. It soon became a form of meditation.
While on this incredible art journey, I focused on how I wanted to feel. It was a time of self-discovery, self-care, and growth. As I let go of the negative energies that once held me back, I found joy and beauty in the smallest things. This newfound appreciation inspired me to create expressive paintings. In my artwork, I seek to capture the essence of softness and peaceful energy.
