About Kendra Tucker

I started painting with watercolor during a challenging health experience when I needed to calm down my brain, and I didn't know what else to do but turn to art. In watercolor, I could lose myself in the mysterious swirling of water and color, playing with the elements. Watercolor is complex and somewhat untamable since you are working with the unpredictable element of water, which I love about it. I may go in with a plan, but I never know exactly what is going to transpire on paper.​ 

​

In my other life I am a mental health therapist, holding both pain and healing with others. Painting the evocative natural world is an antidote for me to the hard things I see happening to people and the earth, and helps me connect to an intuitive healing undercurrent beneath it all.

​

I live in the rugged beauty of the Bitterroot Valley in Montana, respectfully acknowledging that I live on ancestral lands taken from the Salish Tribe.  While I am out painting, it's important to me to remember those who are being deprived of safety, health, and freedom, and to work on their behalf. Therefore, 5% of all profits are donated to charities working to provide healthcare and lifesaving resources to others.
