K. Vuletich is a Denver-based multimedia artist. While studying at Regis University under the mentorship of Tony Ortega, Vuletich became interested in mixed media collage. In 2015, they began working at Urban Peak, a shelter that serves youth experiencing homelessness, as a case manager and art group facilitator. This experience cemented their appreciation for accessibility to the arts and taught them art, at its best, is an inclusive and empowering practice. Since then, Vuletich has sought to make art more accessible to aspiring young artists and more affordable for interested collectors and the public.
Vuletich was a recipient of Art Gym’s Create residency in 2018 and was selected for Denver Arts and Venue’s Urban Arts Fund in 2019. These grants gave Vuletich the opportunity to expand their collaborations within communities and to experiment with large-scale, low-barrier public art.
Currently, Vuletich seeks to involve community stakeholders at every stage of creative development. Though they often layer diverse imagery to create large collage-style murals, Vuletich is particularly passionate about nature and sustainability. Whenever they can, they incorporate images of regional fauna and flora into their work and try to be particularly mindful of the materials they are using. Though Vuletich loves creating physical artworks, they consider their primary creative passion to be cultivating community.
