Alexandria Kendrick is a first-year Art History student on the Arts Management track. While an artist first, she is particularly interested in museum education, collections management, and art preparatorship. Her practice in oil painting acts as a home to return to, a place to explore her gritty, midwestern, moody, and white trash identity on canvas. She combines the woman and the girl, an obsessed consumer of media and observer of culture, in rave pants, blingy sunglasses, and big winged eyeliner- inspired by nostalgia, for museums and the early internet alike, places where you can live a simple fantasy. 

Alexandria completed her B.F.A. in Studio Art (Painting) in 2024 at the University of Central Missouri, where she also studied Art History and Anthropology. She graduated Cum Laude with academic and departmental honors. She is the recipient of the Ada Franklin DeWitt Bennett Memorial Scholarship for full-time students in excellent academic standing, in addition to the University of Central Missouri Gallery of Art & Design's 57th annual Citation Show, Faculty and Jurors' Selection (Studio) awards, presented by Melanie Johnson Chair, Department of Art & Design, and artist Mikey Yates. Her B.F.A. Senior Show Boneless Girls, juried by Gallery Director Jamie Platt, was exhibited at the University of Central Missouri Gallery of Art & Design in May of 2024.
