Kellen Spencer (he/him) is a visual artist and printmaker based in Sikookotoki (Lethbridge, Alberta). In 2018, Kellen completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Print Media at the Alberta College of Art + Design (presently AUArts), and was the recipient of the Board of Governors Graduating Student Award. His printed work has recently been exhibited at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (SAAG) and Casa in Lethbridge, and in numerous group exhibitions across Canada, the United States, and Japan. Alongside his creative practice Kellen works as a surveyor using drones, 3D scanners and GPS equipment to map and layout construction design. His artwork often references the sites he works on as he considers memory, place, and the environmental impact we have on the land.

Kellen is also informed by the land where he currently lives and was born, 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 those who continue to steward them.
