Who is Lexi Sundell | Artist | Designer

I paint flowers, roosters, and a stardust series, usually in acrylic on extremely large canvases. I love playing with color in these paintings.

I am an award winning jewelry designer with over thirty years experience. I create in gold or silver with precious stones and diamonds in unique creations.

My husband and I own and operate RiverStone Gallery in Ennis, Montana. We are in a great fly fishing destination and we both love to fish for those gorgeous trout.

I also love writing and have written two books as well as creating the artwork for them. The latest one was at the request of a major publisher, which was a challenge.

Designing websites is another growing interest of mine. That started with blogging and has expanded with time.

I often write about different forms of creative growth on my blog Energies of Creation. This blog showcases also some of my artwork from time to time.

I also garden like a maniac on two town lots, which supplies me with plenty of flowers for my paintings. Poppies are my favorites but I do grow some vegetables, particularly tomatoes.

I recently surprised everyone by starting to paint roosters. I had not intended to do that, but I saw a magnificent rooster with the sun setting behind him at a friend's ranch, and I was smitten.

I occasionally do entirely spontaneous creations, like building an upside down staircase in my house to surprise my husband when he returned from a trip. He definitely was not expecting such a transformation of the stairwell in three days!
