About the Artist

Meet Gwendolyn

Montana-born, Gwendolyn Landquist is a multidisciplinary artist who explores notions of human existence, identity, and emotion with her skillfully executed surreal works.

A graduate of the University of Montana, Gwendolyn is an alumna of the Creative Pulse Program who holds an M.A. in Integrated Arts Education and a B.A. in Art. While pursuing her Master's degree, she began developing her signature style and practice.

 

Style & Practice

Gwendolyn's work invites viewers to channel the unconscious as a means to unlock the power of the imagination. Her drawings, paintings, prints, and other works are typically imaginative, complex, and colorful. She presents the observer with new, imaginative ways of seeing the world and, through this vision, encourages viewers to cultivate their own interpretation of each piece.

Her recent works are primarily created using markers, paint, and pencil on wood board.
