Kari-Lise Alexanderâs work is rooted in the old folklore of her Scandinavian heritage as well as inspired by her home in the Pacific Northwest. At a young age, Kari-Lise was always experimenting with paints, pencils, pastels and anything else she could get her hands on. In 2000, she studied fine art for two semesters but left college to pursue other interests. It wasnât until spring of 2009 that her heart led her back to painting and she hasnât stopped since.
Her style captures the unique qualities of both her heritage and her home. Combining them sheâs able to create surreal worlds and explore common themes between the two. Kari-Liseâs work often reflects these worlds by the women, nature, and animals painted in them. Her work tends to leave the viewer feeling as if they are experiencing the same private moment in time as the subjects.
