Join us on Wednesday, July 23rd, at the Lolo Brewery & Grill for an artist presentation with Open AIR's Selway Bitterroot Frank Church Artist-in-Residence Kelsey Dzintarts. Snacks will be provided.
Kelsey Dzintars is a versatile fine artist, tattooist, muralist, and illustrator rooted in Bozeman, 日本毛片. Growing up pursuing art and music in Rapid City, South Dakota, she followed her creative passion to 日本毛片 State University, earning a BFA in Graphic Design in 2009. Dzintars鈥 acrylic paintings draw from her personal experiences in the wilderness, weaving together expressive landscapes and surreal portrayals of nature鈥檚 divine feminine essence. Her work often merges with the mission of outdoor-centered brands and nonprofits, aiming to nurture and protect both the wilderness within us and the wild places beyond. She also spent time as a guide on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, which deeply influenced both the visual and symbolic narratives of water in her work. When not creating in her studio at the Emerson Center in Bozeman you'll find her snowboarding, on the river (probably in costume), or engaged in a deeply philosophical鈥攜et entirely pointless鈥擲einfeld-esque debate with her partner, Aaron, and their mischievous mutts, Neko and Ripley.
A sunset stroll along the Riverfront Trail is never a bad idea!
