Artist
The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

HELLO THERE!
Alexis Krinkie is a 22 year old artist currently based in Western New York where she has grown up for most of her life. She was born on a naval base in North Carolina during a hurricane before moving to New York with her family. From a young age her mother encouraged her to pursue art. Her mother voiced the saying, "What could go wrong?" which has influenced Alexis' artwork and process. She later graduated from Brockport High School and then moved onto Genesee Community College in Batavia where she received her Fine Arts degree in 2016. In the beginning of 2017 she took a short gap period where she became an English teacher in China. She is currently seeking majors in both English and Photography at SUNY Brockport. Her art consists mostly of photography and collage work. She is an avid traveler and loves to document her experiences.
A STATEMENT
FROM THE ARTIST
I photograph people and objects in an abstract way. Either zoning in on one specific part or not including the face, I show the viewer a new way to look at others. Most of my work includes forms of collage. I like to connect my art to other things such as music and literature. I incorporate my love of painting, drawing and collage with my love of photography. Many of my pieces recycle old magazines or newspapers because I love the look and feel of old books. Through my art I want people to see the beautiful aspects we miss in everyday life. Whether it be an old book, a cup of tea, a church down the street, or your neighbor. Everything has a story to tell and I want to share it.
