Alexandra McGowan (She/They) creates hazy, abstracted compositions filled with moving color. Her paintings have a soft surface texture and gentle, joyous energy. She finds inspiration in tender moments shared with her partner and natural ephemera. Alexandra's paintings are created on stretched cotton bedsheets, referencing her relationship with her bed as a symbol of rest, safety, and queer love. 

Alexandra received a BFA in Painting and Printmaking, with a Minor in Art History from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has had work featured in New American Paintings Issue 178 and Flat Rate Contemporary's FRC19. Her work has been exhibited at the Megan Mulrooney Gallery (West Hollywood, CA) and Bond Millen Gallery (Richmond, VA).
