Studio & plein air artist · Arizona

Paintings born of reverence and light, in the studio and in the wild

From dreamy, meditative studio work to raw, wild desert landscapes, each piece made to add a little magic to your space.

Hi, I'm Lexi

Painting is my meditation

Raised in South Dakota and now rooted in the Arizona desert mountains, I paint nature and the quiet energy inside it. Some pieces I paint outside in the open air, others arrive as visions. Every one is made slowly, in layers of luminous color.
