Kendra Dandy

Kendra Dandy (b. 1987), based in Philadelphia, is a multidisciplinary artist celebrated for her bold, colorful illustrations and paintings that bring cheekiness into the world and spark conversation. Working across various mediums such as painting, printmaking, and iPad art, she loves experimenting with colors, shapes, and ideas to create unique and striking pieces.

A central focus of her art is the cheetah, which serves as a personal symbol for her emotions and experiences. Whether playful, thoughtful, or even a little moody, the cheetahs reflect honest, relatable feelings. Through their expressive eyes and postures, they invite viewers to connect with their own emotions, reminding us of the beauty in being true to ourselves.

Her work celebrates introversion and embraces what it means to feel deeply. By focusing on moments of rest, play, and self-reflection, she shines a light on the richness of simply being yourself.

Kendra’s distinctive style has led to exciting collaborations with renowned brands like Marc Jacobs Fragrances, NYX Cosmetics, Anthropologie, and Vans. These projects span beauty, fashion, home décor, and beyond. Drawing inspiration from vintage design, nature, and post-impressionist art—along with her mood-driven creativity—she brings a sense of playfulness and humor to everything she creates.
