ABOUT

Alexis Sones is an Austin-based oil painter whose work explores organic abstraction and imaginative archetypes, stemming from a personal transformation in October 2018 when her vision spontaneously restored after 25 years of wearing corrective lenses. This event shifted her artistic focus from the external world of nature scenes and portraits to the inner landscape of the imagination.

 

Her touch is easily identifiable through snakelike paint strokes and noticeable absence of straight, hard edges. Her paintings reflect an interest in elemental, primordial themes of creation myths across ancient cultures, and serve as both a personal evolutionary compass and a meditation on the relationship between individual physiology and collective myths.
