Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
Join Carolyn Botelho as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Second Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season will be released soon!
Creatively Thinking With Carolyn Botelho
Episode #11 Kirk Sutherland Dialing In His Senses
Painting thousands of paintings, having public artworks involved in Hollywood productions, and being a frequent lecturer are just a few of the tools Sutherland has used over his three decades of being a Professional Artist in the Toronto area.
Being a prolific Artist is whats his creative practice has become. Kirk Sutherland doesn't know it any other way. It is a meditative state of flow. As an experienced Colourist and Abstract painter, that has for many years seen things differently with Synesthesia. Where he craves colours in the middle of the night because he tastes them with his mind. This isn't something strange, it is merely how he understands his world.
Join me as we do a deep dive on Kirk Sutherland's influences, how he understands his imagination, teaching, and his world around him. What professors influenced him while he was a student at OCAD during what he calls the golden age of learning.
