Picture
 
Alexis M. Puleio is a commission artist based in Naples, Florida, known for her striking aerial seascape paintings and vibrant marine life subjects. Alexis’ work blends acrylics and epoxy resin to capture the beauty and movement of the natural world, drawing from her deep appreciation for nature.
In addition to her studio work, Alexis has created large public art installations, with prominent pieces at the Lakeland Regional Medical Center and the Naples Airport. Her artwork can be found at esteemed locations such as Gallery One Naples, The Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort, and the Naples Aesthetics Institute.
Before embarking on her career as an artist, Alexis earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry from Florida Gulf Coast University in Estero, FL, in 2009. Her diverse background informs her approach to art, as she continues to explore new mediums, textures, and techniques in her work, bringing her unique perspective to each piece.
Artist Statement:My artwork links the visual based emotion that is created when you are flying in an airplane, and look out of the window, and  see a beautiful coastline, where the waves are crashing and you wish you could reach down and run your hand over the surface of the water, and the actual physical act of doing so. My aerial ocean resin paintings are created in a way to make you feel like you are looking down from a birds eye view. They are tangle pieces, some with topographical surface texture. I tint my epoxy resin, manipulate it in a way that it looks like you can see the depth in the water, with whitewash waves, that occasionally crash into my handmade rocks near the shoreline. Each piece is finished off with a blowtorch to give it a glass finish.I strive to bring that "Oh, I wish I was there" feeling you get when looking at paradise, into a home.
