I’m Alexis Harline! As an artist, I create paintings that reflect what it means to follow God—even when it’s hard. My husband, our dog Ruby, and I live in Wichita, Kansas. I graduated with a degree in Art Education from Brigham Young University–Idaho. I always imagined myself teaching in a public school classroom, but life had other plans. Now, I paint full time and teach art out of my home, which has been such a fun and fulfilling experience.

Even though my sister, mom, grandma, and great-grandma are all incredible artists, I didn’t start painting until later in life. I first turned to art as a way to cope with some difficult changes during college, but it quickly grew into a passion. While serving a mission in Bakersfield, California during the COVID-19 pandemic, I leaned on painting as a source of peace and expression.
