Biography

A screen and television actress-turned-resolutely accomplished art photographer, Alexandra Hedison grew up in Los Angeles as the daughter of soap opera star David Hedison (The Young and the Restless, Another World). Alexandra received her dramatic training in Manhattan, then began appearing in productions from the early '90s, initially with films such as the big-screen outings The Hard Truth (1994), Sleep with Me (1994), and The Rich Man's Wife (1996) and the telemovie Max Is Missing (1995). Hedison later achieved fame and recognition via her enlistment as Dylan Moreland on the lesbian-themed Showtime drama The L Word. Openly homosexual since her teens, Hedison enjoyed a lengthy relationship with actress and television pundit Ellen DeGeneres (who, in a much-publicized turn of events, eventually left her for Australian actress Portia de Rossi). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Photography

Hedison first exhibited her series of abstract landscapes at Rose Gallery in Bergamot Station, Los Angeles. In 2005, she exhibited the (Re)Building series, which addressed themes of loss, transition and recovery while using construction as a metaphor for memory in the architecture of the subconscious. Her series of large format photographs entitled Ithaka, which takes its title from the CP Cavafy poem of the same name, was shot in the temperate rain forest of North America. First exhibited in London, Ithaka was included in the New Yorker's 2008 Passport to the Arts and Month of Photography Los Angeles the following year.

Hedison's work is represented in public and private collections worldwide, and her photographs have been shown in one-person and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the US and Europe including Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Hedison was selected by Barclays Capital for International sponsorship in 2008.
