'I've always been interested in lifting, the physical body and strength…I've also always found the protein structures really beautiful and I've always wanted to make some paintings around them…the two other works are about me managing to progress and managing to do pistol squats and then being able to do weighted pistol squats.' - Kristy

In our fourth episode of our IWD 2022 series, we are delighted to interview Victoria Cantons! Victoria discusses her journey to becoming a painter, the stigma she has faced as a trans woman, and the cards (and words) she has submitted to this auction.

In our third episode Mollie sits down with Emma Cousin as she discusses her painting process, her use of colour, and her darkly comic subjects.

'I guess that's what painting is, it's like a puzzle, a jigsaw that you're inventing and then trying to solve.'

Emma's work will be featured in our International Women's Day Auction 2022. You can begin browsing our auction lots here: https://artonapostcard.com/pages/international-womans-day-auction-2022

In the second episode of the series, Mollie (@she_curates_) is in conversation with the phenomenal Charmaine Watkiss.

Jamaican-born Charmaine discusses her art as 'memory stories', often created with the African Caribbean diaspora in mind. The podcast discusses Charmaine's inspirations, her time in the fashion industry, her love of Klimt's symbolism and much more!

'For me, memory is something that's encoded within our DNA, so, if I'm going back into the archive and retrieving all of these lost stories for me it is kind of like connecting to memory, but an ancestral kind of memory - I thin it's important to share things, and as artists we're often just sharing human stories.' - Charmaine
