A vibrant collection of 17 paintings, 9 of which were painted in Mumbai.

As if describing postcards from a city; Dabbawallahs merge with Taj Hotel, Victoria Terminus and The Prince Of Wales Museum. The iconic Gateway of India stands majestic in the sea breeze blue.

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate;
He who loves finds the gate open.

This exhibition portrays colourful images of temples, mughal buildings, street vendors, rickshaw wallahs, dhobi wallahs and worshippers from Amritsar.

And joy is everywhere; it is in the earth's green covering of grass; in the blue serenity of the sky; in the reckless exuberance of spring; in the severe abstinence of grey winter; in the living flesh that animates our bodily frame; in the perfect poise of the human figure, noble and upright; in living; in the exercise of all our powers; in the acquisition of knowledge; in fighting evils; in dying for gains we never can share. Joy is there everywhere...
Rabindranath Tagore 

Colour Me India

Solo Exhibition, December 2008

The British High Commissioner's Residence, 
New Delhi, India

Colour Me India depicts 21 paintings of everyday life as well as India’s majestic architecture.

When Alexis was 5 years old she visited India for the first time. Walking hand in hand with her younger brother Fraser they disappeared through an arch, along a path and stood on the steps gazing up at the Taj Mahal.

The inspirations for many of these paintings are drawn from that experience which forms her earliest childhood memory.
