- Bio & Statement -
Gwendolyn Kern is a representational artist residing in Billings, MT. She is inspired by America’s landscapes, its history and iconic characteristics, and the challenge of thoughtful composition.
Always drawing as a kid, her adolescent academics revolved around art. Thanks to her high school electives, and one tenth grade art teacher, her introduction to oil painting began early on. Through books, forums, and experimentation, she continued to understand traditional mediums by studying the techniques of those that came before her. While Gwendolyn’s college career concentrated on graphic design, she never abandoned her partiality for fine art.
Now, using classical means, Gwendolyn combines her background in design with her affection for traditional methods to create, embrace and share nature’s beauty as she sees it.
