Beyond Artwork
I’m Alexis Marie
Welcome to my Studio!
I am an expressive portrait artist born and raised in California, who resides in Missouri that blends femininity with emotional safety. Through my artwork, I use vibrant color palettes with grey monochromatic portraits of women to capture explorative beauty and inner healing through brushstrokes.
Since starting my art career professionally in 2022, I have found my greatest passion in shipping artwork all over the country and internationally to women who work in healthcare fields, amazing mothers, and other women who are celebrating overcoming health milestones.
Through artwork, my goal is not just to create pieces that are pleasing to the eye, but offer peace and hope even in the heart of chaos.
"A journey that started with healing and ended with love, empowerment, and joy!"

How It All Began:
The Inspiration
As an expressive mixed media and oil portrait artist, I am passionate about exploring emotional safety and untold stories in monochromatic portraits with vibrant colors. Growing up in an unstable household where vulnerability and self-care were an act of rebellion, creating art became a way of celebrating femininity and finding beauty in misunderstood emotions. A sanctuary to give a voice to words that didn’t yet exist.
Through delicate oil paint drips and expressive portraits of women, I search for beauty in the messy beginning layers. Rather than hiding the raw unfinished under layers that I used to cover up, I allow them to be imperfect and add depth to the full painting. Each brushstroke carries a story of resilience and finding strength in being open. With every wash of paint serving as a reminder that there is wholeness in uncertainty and becoming. In every finished artwork, my goal is to remind others that it is okay to feel safe in themselves. That there is strength in softness and feeling deeply is human.
