Quinn Kernell is a multimedia artist, designer, and forager who splits her time between Denver and St. Louis. Her art practice turns a critical eye on the cultural nostalgia and collective memory that preserves the American myth of the frontier. Her work illuminates the threads that tie together the environmentalist and preservationist movements, whiteness, settler colonialism, and capitalism. She is interested in promoting collaboration and communion with nature in her art practice and life, rather than highlighting the distinction between the natural and the man-made. She received her BA in Fine Art from Sam Fox School at Washington University in St. Louis.
