Hi! My name is Alexi Elias and I am an artist with 15 years of experience in painting & illustration in South Florida and previously Los Angeles. I never went to a fancy art school and learned the old fashion way from a family member who was a tattoo artist. This was the foundation of my image transfer skill technique that I use today for all of my artwork. I am originally from Queens, NY and have an urban influence & upbringing. I am also a live wedding painter in South Florida with an illustrative mixed-media style. In my spare time I like to design fantasy and dreamy portraits with an ethereal style. www.Alexi-Elias.com is my personal website. I am well versed in digital and traditional art techniques. Live event illustration {on site} starts at $199/hr. Commissions start at $75. {working from the comfort of my studio}

I consider my art style flirty, fun, and colorful.  I frequently work in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and surrounding areas for weddings and events.

I have worked as an art teacher, portrait artist, and fashion illustrator for a number of small businesses and clients.  I was always an illustrator and at the age of 10 began illustrating fashion designs. I grew up in New York City and was inspired by the fashion scene, graffiti, street art, and tattoos.  My favorite materials to use are inks, watercolors, and occasionally gouache and acrylic paint.

I specialize in live event illustration, editorial style fashion illustration, as well as designing for small boutiques and brands from my in home studio.  Commissions are available for any brand who is interested in my style.

I am a live event & wedding illustrator in South Florida and use a wide variety of materials. I am available for weddings, corporate events, galas, fundraisers, and marketing events to promote brand awareness with live guest portraits during your event from Homestead up to Vero Beach.
