Alexandrea Nicholas Jennings

 Alexandrea Nicholas-Jennings’ work has taken a drastic turn after suffering a devastating set of personal losses as she inspects 'the self' (in her “Alex in Wonderland” series) after that first plunge down the rabbit hole. This body of work is deeply personal, whimsical and spiritual all at once.

 She is currently showing two paintings at the Salmagundi Club in New York City. She just won The Best Portrait – Gold Medal- in the Portrait Society of Canada’s juried competition (2022). Her drawing “Leviathan and His Gentleman” is currently featured in The Best of Drawing Magazine 2023. Alexandrea was a semi-finalist in the ARC Salon competition (2022) and she won the Gold Medal at The Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery (2019). She received the Bronze Medal from The Society of Canadian Artists at The Paper Mill Gallery in Toronto (2019). She was a Finalist in the 13th International ARC Salon Competition (2017), was a double finalist in December 2017 in the Portrait Society of America Members Only Competition. Her drawing was published in "Strokes of Genius 8" and a half page advertisement in Southwest Art Magazine. She has exhibited in countless shows at the Richeson Gallery and has won an Award of Merit there. She has appeared in American Artist Magazine (2012) and her self portrait is featured on the package cover for Nitram Charcoal Batons. Speaking professionally is a passion of hers and she gave a lecture entitled “From Academic to Imaginative Realism” at The Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery (2020). Her work was accepted by The Principle Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia (2016).
