The proactive artist Kari-Lise Alexander adored expressing the old folklore of her Scandinavian heritage and Pacific Northwest, where her home was located. In her childhood, she liked experimenting with paints, pencils, pastels and anything she could get her hands on. 

Differently, her style in paintings captures the unique qualities of both her heritage and home by combining these two subjects to create surreal worlds and seeking for common themes between them.

Her series of paintings always reflects these worlds by the women, nature and animals imbedded in them. Particularly, her works aims to leave the viewer’s feeling as if they are in the same private moment in time as the subjects do.

“We’re inspired by the same things, somehow that translates into the same vision. I started painting white haired girls and I ran across someone else who paints white hair girls, which surprised me because I thought that was unique to me. So being original can be quite challenging” Kari-Lise Alexander told Beautiful Bizarre Magazine.
