Kate Kelton - A Compulsion to Create


Listen Later

Actor, painter, photographer - Kate Kelton's an artist with a creative lineage stretching back generations, and a cv that ranges from movies like Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and a decade as the "Tic Tac Girl" to exhibitions in galleries from Los Angeles to New York to the UK. Her "Sentry" series of portraits of women who took public stands against Hollywood's endemic sexual harassment and assault garnered acclaim, and she continues to create with an emphatic aesthetic that is unmistakably her own. We talk about being an outsider and how that informs her creativity, the benefits of art school, being in dialogue with her mother's abstract expressionism, and how technology has empowered her to connect with her audience in a way that gives her total control.
