Emerging Los Angeles Artist Kaia King-Hall on Creativity and Empowerment

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, I sit down with emerging artist Kaia King-Hall, born in Jacksonville, Florida, and currently studying Studio Art at Santa Monica College. Kaia’s work has been featured in exhibitions like Are You Seen? at Barrett Art Gallery in Santa Monica and Eclectic Collective at Ouro Gallery in Los Angeles. Her talent has earned her several awards, including the Ronn Davis and Stiefel/Dockweiler Art Scholarships, as well as recognition in KCRW’s Young Creators Project in 2022.

We discuss Kaia’s creative journey, her focus on women’s issues, and how her experiences with sexism inspire her art. She also shares how attending an arts high school pushed her to improve and how anger and personal experiences drive her work. We touch on her interest in large-scale sculptures and her recent pop-up show Spring Chickens in Venice, CA.

Tune in for a conversation about vulnerability, empowerment, and staying true to your artistic vision.
