Alexis Russillo’s Art Brings the
Outside Inside
MV Times, December 2020
“Russillo’s fluid brushwork creates moments in time. In “Lambert’s Cove,” it is as though we have just climbed the high dune overlooking the beach that comes at the end of the trail leading from the parking lot. The striking diagonal ridges of white clouds searing through the azure sky emphasize the sweep of the shoreline and the feel of this always invigorating view.”

Artist Alexis Russillo’s Work Beckons and Calls us Outdoors
MV Times, February 2020
Alexis Russillo’s luminous landscapes offer a revitalizing burst of light and sunshine… Each one is resplendent, skies bright and glowing, water sparkling with reflections, trees and grass softly caressed by sunlight… The artist revels in the deliciousness of color and light… Russillo welcomes the viewer to her favorite places, and shows us the Island through her loving painter’s eyes.”

Outside, as the sun descended, artist Alexis Russillo chatted with guests as she painted an Impressionist plein air landscape of the fields and trees.
