Interview with MUKA

In this episode of The Living Artist, Preston interviews Los Angeles based artist MUKA. In this fun and in depth conversation, MUKA shares with Preston her thoughts, excitement, vision, and even struggles with her new solo show opening at ShockBoxx on April 2nd! She also talks about growing up in a Mexican American and heavily Catholic influenced household in Texas, picking up and moving to Los Angeles, developing her brand and the persona of MUKA, where this nickname came from and its significance to her as an artist, a snarky infatuation with pop culture in her work, working and sharing a studio with Amrta, being a fellow Program Artist at ShockBoxx, her process of embracing emotional and artistic downtime, goals for working with popular designer brands, and much more.
