Alexis Price is an American contemporary oil painter whose work explores mythology, spirituality, trauma, transformation, and the reclamation of power. Creating luminous portraits of women intertwined with animal and monstrous forms, she uses the figure as a vessel for resilience, healing, and the sacred. Often working from self-reference, her paintings blur the boundary between beauty and the beastly, suggesting that survival leaves us changed rather than diminished.

A nationally exhibited artist, Price draws inspiration from folklore, dreams, and the quiet mythology of everyday life, weaving personal experience into archetypal narratives. Her work invites viewers to consider how darkness can be transformed—not erased, but carried until it becomes light, and how reclaiming power is itself a sacred act.

Alexis was born in Philadelphia, PA (1984) and received a BA in Modern Dance from Meredith College (Raleigh NC) in 2006.  Alexis worked as a dancer and dance teacher for many years, before entirely shifting her focus to the visual arts in 2010.  Alexis is a self taught painter and visual artist, and established herself in the flourishing NC art community. 

In 2016 Alexis moved to New York and established herself as a Brooklyn artist working with local galleries, curators, artists, and schools. Outside of the galleries, Alexis created work for a large-scale installation project for the Yonkers Art Fair (Yonkers, NY), and contributed to BX Spaces Mural Project (Brooklyn NY), and taught art to preschoolers at Kids Canvas (Brooklyn NY).

Alexis has a considerable solo and group show history including BX Spaces (Brooklyn NY), UHF Gallery (Los Angeles), Gristle Tattoo (Brooklyn NY), La Bodega Gallery (Brooklyn NY), FEED Gallery (Raleigh NC), The Pink Building (Raleigh NC) Underground Gallery (Portland Oregon) Art Basel (Miami) via NYC x Wynwood, and many more. She has also been featured in many online and print publications including WOW x WOW, Ladder and Key, and The News and Observer.

Alexis is currently living and working in Maine.
