After graduating from UW Stout in Menomonie, WI with a Fine Art Degree and concentration in art metals, she moved to St Paul, MN. There she worked in a commercial photography lab and later at Art Resources Gallery.
After a couple years in Minnesota she relocated to Portland, Oregon and spent fifteen years living out west. While in Portland Alexis worked for another photographer and then branched off on her own. She ran a successful photography business for ten years on the West Coast photographing weddings, portraits, fashion & small businesses. Alexis moved back back in her home state of Wisconsin in 2016 and is currently living in has her studio space located in downtown West De Pere, WI.
Her fine artwork is inspired by the unique and versatile medium of encaustic. The mix of old and new has always been something she has been drawn to. Her works showcases her love for modern and antique.
Alexis' encaustic artwork has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout Wisconsin.
Her daughter and two dogs keep her busy. When she is not spending time with them she is playing with fire and wax at her dedicated studio space in Art Connective, a non profit organization she created.
