I’m Alexa, a bespoke watercolor artist for Tulsa & Beyond

Hey there! I’m Alexa, the artist behind Alexa’s Illustrations. My journey with custom art started over ten years ago, painting in the evenings (after a long day of working in Excel). I started with a small online shop and created special gifts for patrons to give to their friends and family. It’s always been about capturing those personal stories and unique details to remember the moment and celebration in a hand painted keepsake portrait.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of turning homes, pets, and weddings into watercolor heirlooms that people will treasure forever. I love how each custom piece allows me to connect with someone’s story in a really special way.

I’m excited & honored to work with you and bring your vision to life! Whether it’s a special portrait or bespoke elements to create a special wedding moment for your perfect day, I’m here to make it beautifully timeless. Let’s create something that feels truly one of a kind, just like you and your story. Can’t wait to get started!
