artist (n.)-
one who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value.


 

Alexis Petruso developed her artistic skill with watercolor and colored pencil, but has since moved into the realm of mixed media. Her style is precise, with a focus on color, contrast, and curve. She has strong aesthetic principles, and an interest in beauty, both conventional and otherwise. She prefers the female form as a subject, and positively refuses to involve herself in photorealism, conventional portraits, or any art involving children. Really.

After briefly attending a private university, Alexis decided her interests would be better suited in a school focused predominantly on studio art. Though profit from her art would help fund her continued education, her ultimate goal is to own her own gallery or online store, encouraging others to broaden their artistic horizons.

 

 

Alexis currently lives in an apartment with her boyfriend Barry and her two cats, Pacino and Danzig. She funds her projects by working a full-time job in web maintenance and design. Her evenings are currently spent exploring her new-found interest in stained glass and three-dimensional mixed media.

 

 

On her days off, Alexis can be found jamming to Nine Inch Nails, supporting the ever-expanding flavor market of diet beverages, or watching her favorite controversial TV show, Queer as Folk. Her true happiness is found in her best friends, Areta, Barry, and Matt.

She enjoys collecting the art of her peers and hopes to, one day, be an active part of the thriving DFW art community.
