Kellen Spencer (he/him) is a visual artist and printmaker currently based in Sikóóhkotok (Lethbridge, Alberta). In 2018, Spencer completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Print Media at the Alberta College of Art + Design (presently named AUArts). His printed work has been exhibited at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (SAAG), Casa in Lethbridge, and in numerous group exhibitions across Canada, the United States, and Japan. His recent work has been supported by funding from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and the Lethbridge Public Art Program.

Parallel to his art practice, Spencer works as a construction surveyor on energy, civil infrastructure and heavy industrial projects in Alberta. His artwork has referenced the sites he works on as he considers construction a critical part of memory, place, and the environmental impact we have on the land.

Spencer is also informed by the land where he was born and currently lives, which is part of Treaty 7 Territory; home of the Niitsitapi or Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani peoples. He expresses his gratitude for this place, its histories, languages and cultures, and to all those who continue to steward them.
