Alix Le Juge art often seeks nature as an echo to the human condition. She uses the natural world as a metaphor to our interior landscape. Her work is concerned with environmental issues and she uses her art to bring awareness of nature as a resource to humanity.

Alix Le Juge believes art is an intuitive way to thoughts in process, promoting the world of no words, revealing the untold, and what is yet to come. Her work is therapeutic and metaphysical.
