Her statement about the juxtaposition of old and new in her work: “ Driven by that juxtaposition of old and new, Alexis creates impasto and watercolor paintings that bridge the gap between antique and contemporary. She does that through her technique and color palette. Her approach of finishing her pieces with an overlay that lends a smoky veil ensures that even her most modern works reveal more history. Walter’s other point of difference is her development and use of unique, and often unexpected, colors and combinations. She is inspired by how colors change depending on the time of day or geographical location, and often recreates hues from places or items that catch her eye.”
