Join me for the career story reflections of Kaitlyn Tucek, Artist. At a young age she knew she wanted to be an artist when she grew up, figuring out how to get there, and what “there” looks like, that is her story. It takes some pretty disruptive measures, meeting her husband, moving to Colorado, becoming a mom, and paying off student loans to free up her creative edge giving her the confidence to boldly put herself out there. Where she finds “the more you are really putting yourself out there, the more momentum you get!”

Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 35 with Kaitlyn Tucek

For this episode of brave space, I met with multidisciplinary artist Kaitlyn Tucek in her home studio in Denver. Kaitlyn and I met this summer at a beer festival, but this was the first time we really dove into a conversation. We chat about her personal history as an artist, her work for various museums, and her experience as a transplant from New York City. We chat about her family life, her children’s involvement in art and creative projects, and Kaitlyn's upbringing. Later, we ask the question, "How do you allow someone to have their own experience walking through a gallery, but also as an artist be allowed to tell your own story?" We talk about how this relates to accessibility of art. Kaitlyn says that ultimately, her goal is for each and every person to feel like they belong in the art world, and the only way to do this is to give people the tools they need to feel that way. Kaitlyn was an elementary school art teacher, so we also talk a bit about our teachers growing up and how much they inspired us. Lastly, we talk about Kaitlyn's current inspirations, which include looking at sunsets from the vantage point of her home, thinking about underpaintings, and how food and company go together. She has a show at Alto Gallery in Denver that we discuss in this episode; it opens on December 7th, 2018, and if you're in the Denver area you should definitely check it out! Thanks again to Kaitlyn Tucek for talking with me for this episode and welcoming me into her home. For more information on Kaitlyn and her work, visit www.kaitlyntucek.com or Instagram @ktucek. Our theme music is by Noon. You can find and support his music on Bandcamp, Facebook, and Spotify. To find out more about this podcast, visit bravespacepod.com.
