THE EMBODIED MYTh
When your story is ready to take form.
You’ve spent years creating a life that feels like art.
Now it’s time to be seen as the masterpiece you’ve become.
The Embodied Myth is a high-touch creative experience for women who are thriving in their vision — founders, artists, muses, and visionaries and overall baddies who are ready to collaborate on a painting that transcends portraiture.
This isn’t just a commission.
It’s a full on immersion into your own myth.
A guided, ceremonial journey where your essence becomes the muse.
A creative dialogue that culminates in a one-of-a-kind artwork — born from your story, your symbolism, your rhythm.
This is where art meets devotion.
Where your world is translated into color, texture, and timelessness.
WHO THIS IS FOR?
For the woman who is no longer becoming — she is.
She has built a world, crafted her success, embodied her power… and now she’s ready to honor it.
This experience is for:
Entrepreneurs & founders who live through vision, creativity, and soul.
Artists & muses who crave being painted in their essence, not just photographed.
Collectors of beauty who invest in art as a living reflection of their becoming.
Women who understand that self-worship is discipline, not indulgence.
Those who want their creative legacy immortalized through an aesthetic others will feel in their bones.
Because when your life becomes art — it deserves to be preserved that way.
WHAT THE EXPERIENCE INCLUDES
This is a multi-sensory collaboration between artist and muse — blending storytelling, creative direction, and ritual artistry.
Your journey includes:
A 75-minute creative dialogue via Zoom, designed to uncover your story, essence, and mythic symbols.

***Each piece is documented in my private archive, and your portrait will never be reproduced or offered as a print. This is a one-of-one, made only once, for you.
This is an artwork and a spiritual mirror — a collaboration between your truth and my hands.

What makes this different from a traditional portrait commission?
This isn’t a transaction — it’s a creative initiation and much deeper of a process than you just sending me a photo of something you want me to replicate.
When you work with me, you’re not simply commissioning a painting; you’re co-creating a visual mythology that honors who you’ve become.
Every element — from our private, virtual, one on one session to the Atlas booklet — is designed to feel like a story unfolding.
You don’t just walk away with art; you walk away seen.
I’m not a “model.” Will I know how to show up for something like this?
You don’t need to perform — you need to arrive.
This process isn’t about posing; it’s about presence.
Through guided conversation and creative direction, I help you relax into your essence — the part of you that’s already magnetic.
The artwork doesn’t capture perfection; it captures truth, that exact thing that makes you magnetic.
What if I don’t know what I want the painting to look like?
That’s the beauty of collaboration.
You bring the story; I bring the eyes.
During your creative call, we’ll explore your aesthetic world — color, symbol, energy, archetype.
From there, I’ll create your Atlas, a visual roadmap that we’ll both feel deeply aligned with before brush ever meets canvas.
You’ll always be part of the process — but never have to carry it.
Can I use this for branding or personal content?
Absolutely — many of my clients are entrepreneurs, artists, and creative leaders who love blending their visual identity with their mythology.
Your artwork and film can serve as elevated visual storytelling for your brand, launches, or personal archives — while still feeling timeless and sacred.
Think of it as aesthetic content with soul.
Do you offer payment structures or plans?
Yes — this experience is meant to feel both intentional and attainable.
You may pay in full or choose a custom payment plan (typically split into 2–3 milestones).
Once your deposit is made, your project timeline begins, and your myth starts taking form.
How long does the full process take?
From your first call to the finished painting, the experience typically unfolds over 8–10 weeks.
Each artwork is hand-painted with ritual and precision.
If you add The Mythic Archive, the timeline extends slightly to accommodate filming, editing, and delivery — ensuring the final product feels cinematic, not rushed.
Where are you based, and can you travel to me?
I’m based in Philadelphia , and yes — I can travel to you for your session. ( Passport ready and nothing makes me more excited than to travel and spend time with you)
Clients often choose to host their experience in spaces that feel sacred or symbolic to them — a home studio, a seaside villa, a creative retreat.
Each environment becomes part of the myth itself.
Can I commission this as a gift?
Yes — and it’s one of the most meaningful gifts you can give.
The Embodied Myth is perfect for milestone birthdays, creative rebirths, and major life transitions.
If it’s for someone else, I’ll design a beautifully packaged invitation to the experience so it arrives as an heirloom, not just a booking.
PLEASE email me directly at alexisnunnelly@gmail.com ( click this link for a GIFTING email template )
What if I’m nervous about being seen this way?
That’s exactly why this exists.
Every woman I’ve worked with has felt that — and yet, by the end, they say it was transformative.
Being witnessed this intimately is an act of reclamation.
The nervousness is the threshold; crossing it is what makes the art powerful.
Can I add The Mythic Archive later?
Yes. You may choose to include The Mythic Archive at the time of application or decide to add it after your painting begins to take form.
It’s available exclusively to those enrolled in The Embodied Myth, ensuring that the film reflects your full creative evolution.
Either way, it’s an unforgettable expansion of your story — a moving portrait of the moment you became art.
What happens after I apply?
Once you submit your application, I’ll personally review it to ensure our creative visions align.
If we’re a fit, you’ll receive a private link to reserve your experience and schedule your first creative dialogue.
From there, we begin shaping your myth together — step by step…
What OTHER WOMEN Say:
And I remember learning so much. Asking and listening so much.
To pose for you was a lesson in life, a life experience, exhilarating, fun, energising and wonderful.
And beyond this, to be exhibited. Me? Exhibited. How? But it happened. And I was kept up to date. And I loyally and with passion follow you and your art.
Thankyou for everything

Meet Alexis Nunnelly
Alexis Nunnelly is a MODERN DAY MYTH MAKER , fluent in iconic imagery and sensuality with over a decade of living her brand , The Artist Type, & experience translating human presence into enduring works of art.
Holding both a BFA and MFA in painting, her background bridges academic mastery with an unmistakable rawness that has become her signature. Her practice is rooted in self portraiture — full of intimacy, symbolism, and ritual—drawing from mythology, movement, and personal narrative to create one-of-a-kind portrait experiences. She uses her decade of looking inward to teach you to see yourself under the same light of artist AND muse.
Nunnelly’s sessions are immersive, sensual, and highly personalized. She has painted dancers mid-motion, lovers in embrace, friends sharing wine and silence. Her brush captures not just the body, but the myth unfolding inside it. Working in oil, mixed media, and live observational sketch, she creates expressive relics that are at once contemporary and timeless—anchored in feeling, fire, and full-bodied presence.
For those who sit for her, the portrait is never just a painting. It is an exhale. A reckoning. A mirror you can't look away from.
