Alexandra McGowan (b.2001) is a multimedia artist from Richmond Virginia specializing in painting, and sculpture. She received a BFA in Painting and Printmaking, with a Minor in Art History from Virginia Commonwealth University. Most of her work is abstract, taking inspiration from natural ephemera and what she sees when she closes her eyes. Alexandra uses transparent washes of watered down acrylic to create soft abstracted landscapes of color. Her aim is to make gentle environments that embrace subtlety and remind the viewer of times of love and safety.
