From her first painting on an attic window shade when she was younger to having her work recently featured in a New York City gallery, Duluth artist Kay Kurt joins the podcast to tell us how she got her start and how she found herself focused on painting giant pieces of candy.
“The white chocolates was for me a liberation in a sense that I had no preconception about anybody ever having painted candy,” Kurt says. “And that’s what I needed. I needed a fresh subject. … Plus the scale. … It all just came nicely together.”
