Hey it’s me Lete. Real name Alexis Lete but my fam calls me Lex and my friends call me Lete…I’m still figuring it out!
ABOUT ME
From being a model, Miss Indiana USA, an influencer, a Wonder Woman cosplayer, a crypto podcast host and most recently a wrestler in the WWE you might wonder, “How did she end up here…being an artist.” Well yo girl has been an artist her whole life. I started a jewelry business in 3rd grade selling my jewelry to nurses in hospitals when my grandma got her blood drawn every few weeks. I entered art competitions in high school for my ceramics. I remember getting 2nd place, but like if you’re not first you’re last ya know? Then in college I took ceramics multiple years but didn’t decide to minor in it because “it isn’t sustainable”. Sneaking in to the studio semesters I wasn’t able to take a class was my favorite hobby.
To make a long story short of why now? Just like any rainbow it starts with a storm. I recently had my good ole quarter life crisis or what I like to call my metamorphosis. I couldn’t express how I felt during this time and it seemed like what I was trying to portray only came out so clear on a canvas. Every piece I make has a deeper meaning than just what you see with the eye. My artwork is a metaphor for myself and others that are constantly being judged or put in a box. My work is a metaphor for the complexity and beauty of the human experience.
