Meet Alexys Skolnik

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Alexys Skolnik. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Alexys , thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.

In the art industry, your work is always being critiqued. Although, I believe my biggest critique has always been myself. I think this plays a role in my artwork and business today. As a live artist, I can work quickly and pass it on to the muse. If I sit with a piece too long, I will overthink and start judging my work. That kind of mindset can have me questioning whether my work is good enough and comparing it to the next persons. On the other hand, having that self awareness helps me be the businesswoman I’ve grown to be. Turning my art into a business really allows me to look at myself as a professional and not just a hobbyist.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

As a wedding artist, I’m able to provide several different services to add to one’s wedding day. I like to paint with different mediums allowing for more services. Live wedding paintings include acrylic first kisses and watercolor guest illustrations. I also like to paint venues, post wedding photos, and bridal bouquet’s. Other times include hand painted unity candles, seating charts, and champagne flutes.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

It takes a great deal of patience to not only learn the physical skills of painting, but learning how to harness them as well. Turning art into a business takes more than just knowing how to paint. The experiences overtime will help shape your journey moving forward.

We’ve all got limited resources, time, energy, focus etc – so if you had to choose between going all in on your strengths or working on areas where you aren’t as strong, what would you choose?

I think as a business owner and artist it helps to be well rounded. It allows you to reach more people. More people means more business. It also allows you to find strengths you wouldn’t have known you had otherwise.
