Kendra Dandy

Based in Philadelphia, Kendra Dandy is a multidisciplinary artist known for
creating bold, colorful illustrations and paintings designed to bring
cheekiness into the world and spark a conversation. Working across a mix of
mediums such as painting, printmaking, and the iPad, she loves
experimenting with colors, shapes, and ideas to make unique and striking
pieces.
A key focus of her art is the cheetah, which acts as a personal symbol for her
emotions and experiences. Whether they’re 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.
Her distinctive style has led to exciting collaborations with well-known
brands like Marc Jacobs Fragrances, NYX Cosmetics, Anthropologie, and
Vans. These projects span beauty, fashion, home décor, and beyond.
Inspired by vintage design, nature, and post-impressionist art—with a touch
of her own mood-driven creativity—she brings a sense of playfulness and
humor to everything she makes.
