Born and raised in Bozeman, Montana, Kendra Gillespie is an oil painter inspired by the wild beauty that has surrounded her since childhood. Her work is heavily influenced by the mountains, trees, and animals she encounters while hiking and running the rugged trails of her home state. She specializes in large-scale oil paintings that capture the depth, texture, and spirit of Montana’s mountain landscapes.

Kendra’s creativity is woven into her everyday life. As a mom of two little ones and a wife, she balances her art with the joyful chaos of raising a young family. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll likely find her in the mountains, coffee in hand, a book tucked under her arm, soaking in the scenery that fuels her imagination.

Through her paintings, Kendra hopes to share the beauty, wonder, and wildness of the places she loves most — inviting viewers to experience the landscape the way she feels it.
