About me
Hi! My name is Alisa Maxime, a fashion illustrator, contemporary artist and fashion lover.
My work includes custom portraits, fashion illustrations, lookbooks and live sketching at events.
I am located in sunny Austin, Texas. I love this beautiful green city with its many interesting places, friendly atmosphere and lovely open people. I am so lucky to be here, because being creative, unique and artistic is especially warmly welcomed in Austin.
Before moving to the US, I lived in Paris, France for 5 years from 2013. It was a life changing experience for me. It gave me wings and helped to believe in miracles! Paris itself is the definition of magic, art, style, and of course - fashion.
My first venture to fashion illustration happened when I saw a group of models rushing to Dior show in Tuileries Garden during Paris Fashion Week. I instantly sketched this situation, while sitting in the garden in one of the famous green chairs, surrounded by old marble monuments. After I finished, however, I was still feeling a tremendous surge of strength inside and an inexhaustible source of inspiration! So I sketched the entire Dior collection in one breath! Fashion sketching was definitely love at first sight for me!
​
Since then I’ve been constantly studying new techniques in drawing, sketching and graphic design.This knowledge perfectly complemented what I learned during a 6-year study of Fine Art in my youth.
​
I’ve learned from the best in the industry and have developed my own individual fashion illustration style: emotional, brave, bright and sophisticated.

​
I do commission work and live sketching at fashion shows, and events of all kinds for clients including fashion/beauty companies, designers and magazines. Please feel free to contact me for any details. I am always open to hearing about new projects. I would be so happy to work with you!
