Bio
Alexis Price is an American contemporary artist exploring concepts of Tarot, consciousness, and the female experience. Alexis also focuses on addiction, spirituality, and healing, finding meaning and interaction between each concept. She primarily works with oils to create her bold and sexually charged portraits of goddesses and beasts. Inspired by juxtaposition and duality, Alexis fuses humans and animals, light and dark, as well as the organic and inorganic. She seeks to dig at deeper truths about self and healing, finding inspiration in personal catharsis, unnamed muses, and our mounting local and global crises.
“In my work, I chronicle my own personal journey of transformation, self discovery, and spiritual awakening. It can represent trauma, healing, or something in between. I aim to empower with sexuality, magic, female energy, and the beast within.”
Alexis was born in Philadelphia, PA (1984) and received a BA in Modern Dance from Meredith College (Raleigh NC) in 2006 and worked as a dancer in NC for many years.
