Artist Bio:
Alix Edwards is a Cardiff-based artist who works with women, acrylics, stories, photographs and words in order to feel free, empower and energize women and celebrate feminine energy. Her art has been exhibited in England, Wales, Spain and LA and her poetry has appeared in many publications including Penny Thoughts, Marble Magazine, Poetry Wales and Cardiff Review.
“I want people who experience my work to feel empowered, inspired and free and open to possibilities.”
She works intuitively applying the paint with her hands.
When not creating, Alix enjoys salsa music, walking barefoot on the sand, swimming in the sea and baking chocolate cake.

Artist Statement (strong themes are included):
A longing for expression in art came from a deep sense of isolation and emotional pain. Also a need to convey experiences as a release and resolution to unresolved problems led me to a love for the medium of painting.
In particular, I have been inspired and drawn in by Rothko’s use of colour conveying mystery and alluding to a depth of meaning, suggesting an emotive release and participation in making meanings.
Modigliani’s unapologetic yet sensitive and quizzical portraits have also proven wonderful in challenging me to provoke attention boldly.
The more I’ve delved into painting, the more I’ve felt a resting place for relief and personal realisations and in my use of colour.
Running themes concern intersubjective violence, body dysmorphia, and self harm. I wish to instill a sense of release for the unspoken, and identification with the hidden and unseen. Convening a space for personal reflections and insight.
