ABOUT THE ARTIST
K. Vuletich was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Starting at a young age, they had a deep affection for drawing; and, as the years progressed, so did their artistic exploration and discovery. At Regis University, under the mentorship of artist Tony Ortega and art historian Barbara Coleman, they became interested in mixed media collage and Pop Art. Their art attempts to push the limits of the canvas, challenge the idea of beauty, and encourage public dialogue.
Currently, Vuletich is working as a freelance artist, designer, and muralist. With the many hats they wear and the many people they meet, they have grown a true appreciation for collaborative work - an art form that celebrates the individual as positioned within the living, breathing collective. In early 2020, Vuletich founded The Big Delicious, TBD, an art collective focused on multimedia site specific installation and public access to the arts.
