MINNESOTA STREET PROJECT, SAN FRANCISCO
Employing a distinctive comic-inspired style, Koak uses her works to highlight the complex and personal themes of sexuality, human connection and female creativity. Her unique paintings and drawings have been featured in galleries internationally, and she’s recently been profiled in the New York Observer and Elephant magazine. During her Liquitex residency in San Francisco Koak changed the way she works, moving from pastels to acrylic, after being inspired by the performance and safety of our cadmium-free paints. Learn more about Koak below.
