Meet Alexis!
Alexis lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her husband, daughter and extended family. Such a blessing!
Art has always been part of Alexis’ life. Influenced by her grandparents, who were artists, Alexis grew up with a deep appreciation for art and an eye for beauty.
Before launching her art career, Alexis worked in ministry with college students in Chicago and Grand Rapids. She loved seeing God at work and witnessed the lives of students radically transformed by His unfathomable love and forgiveness. When that season of ministry ended, Alexis began asking God, "What's next?" Through months of prayer and patiently (and impatiently) waiting with God, a phrase began to emerge - "Created on purpose, for a purpose."
God used Psalm 139:13 - 14 and Ephesians 2:10 to confirm this stirring phrase in her heart.
"For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well."
- Psalm 139:13 - 14
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
- Ephesians 2:10
Alexis is back to cultivating her creativity through art, using the gifts that God has purposefully given her. She enjoys the sweet and still moments while she is creating, as she experiences Gods’ presence and His delight for her. Creating new art is a form of worship for her and a way she enjoys time with God.
As such, Alexis creates for the glory of God and the joy of sharing her work with others!
