About Kendra:
Kendra Barron was born in 1945 and grew up in Berkeley, California. In her 20s, she received her artistic training at the University of California, Davis, and graduated from UC Berkeley. Throughout her life, she created beautiful art and exhibited her paintings across the Bay Area, including at Stanford University, the California Institute for Integral Studies, and Diablo Valley College. Her “64 Doors” collection, based on the I Ching, was featured at the Olive Hyde Gallery in Fremont, SOMAR Gallery in San Francisco, the Victor Fisher Gallery in Oakland, and at Phoenix Alameda.
Education was always Kendra’s passion. Years of teaching adult education art classes deepened her understanding of the psychological impact of the painting process, inspiring her to earn a Master’s in Arts and Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University.
Kendra transitioned to her next adventure on September 1, 2023.
