Coby Kennedy: Multimedia artist.

Dream Nation Love

Coby Kennedy is an industrial designer who turned his attention to the Fine Arts. A true multimedia artist, his work spans video, fabrics, art, murals, and sculpture. On the podcast, Coby talks about the business of art, how fast trends play out in modern media, his creative process, taking control of your destiny vs letting destiny control you, and so much more. This is an extended episode that’s almost two hours long.

Growing up in DC, Coby graduated from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and went on to receive his BA in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute. He received his MFA from Colombia and became a Skowhegan Fellow in 2011.

Before turning his attention to the Fine Arts, Coby designed concept cars for Honda, Citroen, and Alfa Romeo. We didn’t talk about this on the show. Will delve into it when he’s a guest again on the show in the future.

Coby’s work is exhibited both nationally and internationally. You can find it in galleries and private collections and has received numerous awards.
