Alexia Sinclair (born 1976, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian fine-art photographer.
Early life
In high school, Sinclair became interested in various artistic endeavours, studied ballet for over ten years, and has used it as a source for the large amount of role-play in her work.[3] Sinclair attended the National Art School where she studied drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography.[2] Sinclair has attributed a lot of her creative success to her upbringing in her family restaurant, where she finds meditation in cooking.[4]
Career
Sinclair has exhibited in numerous galleries and museums including, but not limited to, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Portrait Gallery and the Australian Centre for Photography.[5][6][7] Her series The Regal Twelve in the Phantasia exhibition has toured to the Samstag Museum (University of South Australia, 2009), and the Biennale in Paris of 2009 where it exhibited at the Australian Embassy.[8][9][10]
In 2009, Sinclair exhibited alongside William Yang and Trent Parke at the Pingyao International Photography Festival.[11]
