About Me

Hi there! My name is Alexis and I am the sole artist at Perfectly Poured. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, but I have been moving since I was 2months old.  I graduated HS from a very small town in upstate NY and almost immediately left for the Air Force.  I loved my time while I was in. I was an SP (security police, now security forces) stationed at McClellan AFB in Sacramento California. However, while I was enlisted I was sent on TDY's to Kuwait during Desert Fox, Saudi Arabia for the turn of the century and to Curacao to the drug interdiction base.  While I was in Sacramento, I met the man who would become my husband, Mike. We've been married for almost 21years and have 2 teenagers we run after constantly.  We have planted our feet (for now at least) on the coast of North Carolina, where my beach resin pieces were born.  The beach is my happy place. I can walk the beaches searching for sharks teeth for hours and still not be bored. I am loving our beach town life, and now I'm privileged to share my love of the beach with you :)

Almost 20yrs ago, I started a photography business in the coastal town of Destin Florida. I did mostly beach photography and family portraits. I offered different products, and one of them was a portrait mounted on a wood cut, sealed in resin.  What I've learned in the last 20yrs is that even the most practiced artist, will still mess up. After 20yrs of working with resin, I still mess up. I'm still learning, experimenting and evolving.  Sometimes my mistakes wind up being beautiful pieces, and sometimes they just sit around as a reminder of "what not to do" :)  I love bringing my love of the beach to anyone who loves it too!
