Career Services and the VASD Program presents Lucía Rodríguez for the first 2021/2022 Wayfinding Series presentation! Join us to learn about the career journey and get expert advice from this inspiring artist. This event is virtual and will be held on Zoom. Lucía Rodríguez was born and raised in Santiago, Chile in a family that encouraged her love for art. In 2009 she obtained her BFA at Universidad Católica de Chile. In 2014 she moved to NYC to pursue her MFA at the New York Academy of Art, graduating in 2016. Once she finished, Lucía moved to Colorado with her husband and they founded JuiceBox as a DIY gallery and educational space. She also worked at the Denver Art Museum and taught at the Rocky Mountains College of Art + Design (RMCAD). In early 2020 Lucía and her husband moved back to NYC where she continues to develop her studio practice. Lucía Rodríguez’s work focuses on the ambiguity of space and the seductiveness of color. She creates spaces that build a bridge between representation and abstraction and invites the viewer into a new reality. She believes in the importance of the experience of perception as an exercise to disconnect from our understanding of the world through language. Lucía’s main medium is color, as she thinks of her work as paintings, no matter the medium: painting, drawing, installation, etc. The artist finds inspiration in everyday patterns, textures, and spaces that she photographs or sketches and use as references when creating her work. The Wayfinding Series is RMCAD’s career focused speaker series. With equal parts inspiration and honesty, speakers share their path towards a successful creative life and all of the twists and turns involved in that journey. Addressing career-focused issues such as industry trends, relevant skills, making connections, and professional fulfillment, Wayfinding speakers highlight that there is no one way to find and live a successful, creative career and life. Speakers represent a variety of creative employment opportunities, connect to multiple academic departments, and reveal that professional creatives are found in diverse and sometimes surprising fields.
