She received her B.F.A. in Studio Art from Bowie State University. Her work explores ancestry, family, identity, and how agency—both inherited and personal—shapes us. Through portraiture, Alexis often depicts everyday individuals in her community with a sense of reverence and strength, highlighting beauty and celebrating those whose stories are unrecognized. She views each figure as the result of decisions made across generations, both big and small, carrying a quiet sense of the divine. Working primarily in painting, she incorporates materials such as beaded embroidery and fabric to introduce texture and adornment, reflecting cultural memory and lineage. https://alexisjanay.art/contact daily 0.75 2026-07-23 https://alexisjanay.art/home-stella daily 0.75 2026-07-14 https://alexisjanay.art/paintings daily 1.0 2026-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/6019a61d-721c-4270-9914-4f0db884606f/Untitled+design.jpg Paintings "Beautiful One" 2026 Oil on Canvas 30 x 40 in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/61588b0c-2d51-4c86-b740-a75a4d3de1cb/Untitled+%281600+x+1200+px%29+%281%29.jpg Paintings "Carried...So She May Bloom" 2026 Acrylic on Canvas 36 x 20 in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/1784760004508-HD8IB1TZB7P15TUPGRM4/Untitled%25252Bdesign%25252B%252525283%25252529.jpg Paintings "Kietha" 2026 Oil on Canvas 30 x 40 in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/e77faac9-4ff0-4472-8ab2-59fe507c40c3/Untitled+%28800+x+800+px%29.png Paintings "Mother's Cloth" 2024 Acrylic, gold leaf on Canvas 40 x 40 in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/1784780461348-BBIF5OJCK8K4VD3K39I1/Facetune_03-08-2024-23-02-44.jpg Paintings "Where Memory Flowers" 2024 Acrylic on Canvas 18 x 24 in https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/1784781196983-SJGW7RNXTJRAN6VNBGWA/ZoElle77.jpg Paintings "Zoelle" 2024 Acrylic on Canvas 20 x 30 in https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/df7e500f-bf1a-47b9-9c95-343c029e3b92/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/df7e500f-bf1a-47b9-9c95-343c029e3b92/thumbnail Paintings Paintings https://alexisjanay.art/storybehindtheart daily 0.75 2026-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/b6c18ea7-95d6-424e-8571-1573184d9101/Untitled+%28800+x+800+px%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/641b6d24-cce2-41c5-8c7e-0f8fef96821d/IMG_0320.jpg https://alexisjanay.art/583544494043 daily 0.75 2026-07-22
