She received her B.F.A. 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, 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-1 daily 0.75 2026-04-09 https://alexisjanay.art/gallery daily 0.75 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/1711523423511-JX8K9ISQZ8LTXY4BMJQY/Mother%2527s%2BCloth%2528%2529.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/1711527660185-9Z7SRFQXZ3KHTVNXH4H0/ZoelleUpdate.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/eb14dca7-bb94-4706-bc26-3d559c77e88a/IMG_0062+-+Edited.png Gallery - Beautiful Ones (2026) Oil on Canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/634eacaa-832e-4ddf-9ed9-63780622f3d1/IMG_6097+-+Edited.png Gallery - (2026) Acrylic on Canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/8df62812-978c-43b5-93fb-4edecb85d1b9/IMG_3925+-+Edited.png Gallery - Mother’s Cloth (2023) Acrylic on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/4f15d6b3-f9c6-4da0-ab16-81199968a365/Alexis+Janay+-+Acrylic+-+A+Gesture+On+Lexington.jpg Gallery A Gesture On Lexington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c854bfa0b77bdeada832629/1711527660185-9Z7SRFQXZ3KHTVNXH4H0/ZoelleUpdate.jpg Gallery - (2022) Acrylic on canvas https://alexisjanay.art/home-stella daily 1.0 2026-06-11 https://alexisjanay.art/gallery-2 daily 0.75 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1756827557360-LX2FI23LKI2BOHG8NBLK/imgg-demo-JBF3SmQJ.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1756827557407-ZLMPYZLCXMOC7DPXUM3Y/imgg-demo-8xM9d6Tc.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/bc091a6e-ddc3-4128-a705-91e53e2460fe/imgg-demo-WBncoPvl.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755893578991-78QNU9NXPIN5NMTK4JM9/imgg-demo-7J1jaCXI.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755550532117-SJPX01S08USR74VMJIMY/imgg-demo-TRMW0Itu.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755893274851-ZT6G62Y16HT52UMIIM3F/imgg-demo-a3mKUH6c.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/356cb5bf-f182-4967-90f1-65d107a071a9/imgg-demo-cb6xEAJf.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/cae56cb5-b6a3-4fc1-af83-33b5e5dfa267/imgg-demo-fFTEwlXX.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1756825711399-0BYY2AEUTE388WAXB3W1/imgg-demo-8xM9d6Tc.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/d1ac734f-39c5-4e15-ae12-d9de38c0fea0/imgg-demo-kuaa40V6.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755893744474-69X94EHJPE32L69KGLZQ/imgg-demo-N1g6iaei.png Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755551636136-DR3GK152JVX008H5RPL0/imgg-demo-LaGnuvMS.png Gallery
