Loving your craft enough to bet your life on it takes courage. Loving your community enough to pour yourself back into it takes heart. Alexis Fraser who is known to the world as Lipstick Lex embodies both.
Lex’s artistic journey wasn’t shaped by overnight success, but by years of discipline, self-belief, and mastering the fundamentals of traditional acrylic and oil painting. She earned the right to break the rules long before she ever did.
In 2013, she followed her intuition and introduced a bold, feminine signature to her work using her own kiss print as a medium. What began as a creative risk quickly became unmistakable. Her art didn’t whisper; it spoke of confidence, empowerment, and the beautiful balance between softness and strength.
Today, while lipstick remains her iconic mark, Lex moves fluidly between oils, acrylics, murals, installations, and live art experiences. Her vibrant figurative and floral pieces often incorporate uplifting words and affirmations; visual reminders that beauty and positivity can exist boldly and unapologetically.
Yet beyond the glamour and global brand partnerships lies something far more meaningful: Lex’s unwavering commitment to giving back.
Her success has never been about ego, it’s about impact. She invests her time, talent, and heart into charitable initiatives, community events, and creative workshops that inspire others. Whether performing live art, supporting local nonprofits, or quietly championing causes close to her heart, Lex leads with generosity.
That spirit is what makes owning a Lipstick Lex original so special.
When you collect her work, you’re not just acquiring a statement piece, you’re supporting an artist who reinvests every success back into the community that believed in her. Each commission is handled with care and collaboration, from in-home consultations to personally delivered and installed works throughout Sarasota.
Her resume includes national and international collaborations with brands like Estée Lauder, Sephora, IT Cosmetics, and projects reaching as far as Hong Kong. Yet at her core, Lex remains deeply local, grounded, grateful, and connected.
This February, as we celebrate Local Love, we celebrate Lipstick Lex, not only for her bold creativity, but for the beauty and generosity she continues to give back.
Because art should be anything but ordinary and neither should the people behind it.
