Born and raised in a sleepy midwestern town, it was difficult to fathom fashion, art, and make-up as more than what was locally scoured at Wal-Mart. Still, around 1998 Alexis was fortunate enough to become involed in her high school theatre troupe and a passion and curiosity for make-up ensued. Aside from her photography and theatre background, Alexis studied at the Make-up Designory in Los Angeles and shortly thereafter teamed up with cosmetics giant M.A.C. to further diversify herself and hone her asethetics skills. A difficult route taken by many well known make-up artists even today; it proved absolutely crucial to Alexis' development. In a little over two years she had worked on thousands of skin tones, textures and types. Numerous men and women, from every kind of attitude and background. What this gave Alexis even more than experience, was an appreciation of different kinds and levels of beauty.

Today you can find Alexis conjuring up new creations in the studio, sweating it out on location or putting the final romantic touches on a blushing bride-to-be. When she's not obsessing over lash curls or eyebrow hairs, she takes to the open road or adventurous travels to keep her mind and creative antics fresh.

On her artistry, Alexis says "There's a great freedom when you have your feet in two so called mutually exclusive worlds: The world of irony, and the world of soul, The world of flesh, and the world of spirit, The world of surface and the world of depth."
