Open AIR: Kelsey Dzintars Artist Presentation

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, Montana. Growing up pursuing art and music in Rapid City, South Dakota, she followed her creative passion to Montana State University, earning a BFA in Graphic Design in 2009. Dzintars’ acrylic paintings draw from her personal experiences in the wilderness, weaving together expressive landscapes and surreal portrayals of nature’s 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—yet entirely pointless—Seinfeld-esque debate with her partner, Aaron, and their mischievous mutts, Neko and Ripley.
