ALEXIS ST. JOHN
I create worlds. The locations are unconventional, playful, and slow of pace.
they offer viewers an escape from the mundane. They are inspired by dreams and meditations.
My latest body of work, is painted on a ground of sand. I like the look of the texture surface
as well as the symbology of sand. I mix the oil paint from scratch, using earth pigments and
walnut oil. Its important to me that the materials I use are non-toxic and as earth-friendly as possible.
My work is a manifestation of the qualities, values, and priorities I wish to see in the world. We become
what we put our attention on. The paintings are a gentle reminder for us to keep growing.
