The urge to create or possess a visual representation of a specific person – a portrait – is present throughout history. Portraits are created for many reasons: from sentimental to celebratory, for public or private viewing, as memorials, and as icons. .

Until the introduction of photography in the 1840s, portraits were rendered by artists in both two and three-dimensional mediums such as paintings and sculptures.

The Museum’s collection includes a variety of portraits, most of which depict local people. In this exhibition, we learn of portraiture and the people portrayed.

With over 8.6 MILLION social media followers, Alexandra Kay, who starred on Netflix’s series Westside, holds the rare and extraordinary ability to genuinely connect with audiences by just being her authentic true self via heartfelt melodies, her “refreshing brand of storytelling…custom-made for the country music genre” (People), and her “angelic, yet soaring vocals” (American Songwriter). Cementing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the industry, the bright and tenacious rising star that Billboard acclaimed as “an adept, propitious singer-songwriter,” dropped her debut album – All I’ve Ever Known – in 2023. The project reached #1 on the iTunes All Genre and Country charts globally and earned her a spot in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Country Album, Emerging Artist and HeatSeeker charts, independently.

Now, signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville and named to Pandora’s “2025 Artist to Watch: Country” list and CMT’s “Next Women of Country: Class of 2025,” Alexandra wrapped a milestone 2024 – in which she headlined her own tour, joined Jelly Roll on his Beautifully Broken Arena Tour where she was taken under his wing and was featured on the GRAMMY-nominated Twisters movie soundtrack. Taking 2025 to the next level, the captivating songstress is giving a glimpse into her sophomore album, releasing the sultry, magnetic anthem “Feminine Energy,” the starry-eyed romance of “The Last” and the contagiously catchy sing-along “Cupid’s A Cowgirl.” Currently commanding stages worldwide, she joins Brad Paisley on tour this summer and just opened her own coffee shop, The Coffee Girl, in her hometown of Waterloo, Ill.
