    Art Friendships with Sam Michelle & Debbie Mackenzie

    Sam Michelle and Deb McKenzie met more then a decade ago when they were both given studios in a shared space through their framer. What started as five or six days a week working alongside each other quietly became one of the most important relationships in both their practices. In this conversation we talk about what it means to have someone who genuinely gets it, not just the excitement of a new show, but the pre-show spiral, the post-show crash, the gallery relationship you're not sure is right, the decision that feels too big to make alone. We talk about vulnerability and whether you actually move through self-doubt faster when you've got someone to be honest with. We talk about the art world feeling opaque and why having one person you can call and say "is this normal?" matters.  We also get into what it means to have someone who can give you an honest perspective without any competing interest, someone who knows what's normal in this industry and what isn't, and who will tell you either way.

    Inside the Affordable Art Fair with Georgia Huestis

    Most artists know the Affordable Art Fair exists. What it's actually like to be there as an artist, on the floor, in the booth, talking to strangers about your work for four days straight, is a different story. Georgia Huestis is the Fair Director of the Affordable Art Fair in Australia, with Fairs in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and she was so generous with information this week in our chat. In this conversation we get into the mechanics of how the fair actually works for artists, be it with a gallery, the collective model, the Young Talent program for unrepresented artists under 35. We chatted about the sort of support the fair offers around selling, hanging, and getting your booth to land. Georgia is refreshingly practical about what a slow day means, what a first fair is supposed to feel like, and why bringing someone in as your support person might be one of the best decisions you make. you can find Georgia on instagram here Plus find the Affordable Art Fair Australia here on Instagram and their website here The Melbourne Affordable Art fair is on soon- August 27-30 SYDNEY: 5-8 November BRISBANE: May 2027 Links Affordable Art Fair AustraliaGeorgia HuestisAlice Palmer Rich & Strange GalleryAngela Moritz Vandal ltd Rachel RushDiego FaivreClaudio KiracAnna Price You can find the podcast here on Instagram & here on substack Thanks so much for listening!

    When the Viewer Becomes Part of the Work- with Harriet Schwarzrock

    What if standing in front of a work of art actually changed it? That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Harriet Schwarzrock, an Australian glass artist who captures plasma inside blown glass vessels that respond to your presence. Move closer, and the light shifts. Touch the surface, and it intensifies. The viewer literally becomes part of the circuit. Harriet is a doctoral candidate at the Australian National University researching plasma illumination as a responsive and relational artistic medium. Her work has been shown at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, Berengo Studio in Murano Venice, and most recently in Fluid Presence at Wagga Wagga City Art Gallery. We talk the role of the viewer, when she thinks about it, what it means for a viewer to complete a work and the interactions that happen when an artwork that can be touched or changes on approach. And we talk about what the role of human connection plays in the organic, vascular shapes that run through her most recent work.

    Art Without a Commercial Outcome with Lucy Hersey

    Today on The Creative Kind, I’m talking to artist Lucy Hersey, who lives and works in South Gippsland, Victoria, creating paintings made from earth pigments she gathers and processes by hand. Lucy’s work is deeply connected to landscape, not just visually, but materially. She collects clays, rocks, and natural pigments from the land around her and turns them into paint, creating works that are literally made from the places they depict. But this conversation isn’t just about materials or process (though this might have to be a follow up episode!) We’re talking about something I think almost every artist wrestles with at some point: what actually happens when you try to make work without thinking about whether it will sell ? Artists hear that advice constantly “just make the work,” “don’t think commercially,” “follow the work” but the reality of doing this is usually more complicated then it sounds. Lucy talks openly about the tension between commercial work and non commercial work, the strange freedom of being given permission to work without a sales outcome attached, as well as some of the other things she learnt about herself and her work through this process. You can find Lucy Hersey on her Website: https://www.lucyhersey.com or on instagram here On Clarence Studios: https://www.instagram.com/onclarence/Latrobe Regional Gallery: www.latroberegionalgallery.com You can find the podcast here on Instagram & here on substack Thanks so much for listening!

    Changing Direction with Petrina Jose & Jasmine Kroeze

    In this episode of The Creative Kind, I’m joined by Jasmine Kroeze and Petrina Jose for a conversation about pivoting, what it really looks like to change direction creatively, professionally, and personally. We talk about how Jasmine moved from fashion and textile design into mural work, why Petrina stepped back from painting to rebuild her branding business, and how both of them navigate the tension between following new ideas and knowing when something is actually worth pursuing. We also get into the less glamorous side of creative careers, inconsistent income, burnout, rejection, overthinking, working for free, and the challenge of putting yourself out there when there’s no guarantee things will work. Jaz shares how she tracks opportunities, applications, and rejection rates in spreadsheets, while Petrina talks about evolving from painting into branding work, and how she’s learned to build creative businesses that genuinely fit the way she wants to work and live Something I loved about this conversation was hearing how differently people approach ideas. Some ideas are fleeting experiments, some become careers, some need to be tested properly before you know whether they’re sustainable or simply a curiosity. We talk about why creative people are often drawn toward multiple paths at once, the pressure to “niche down,” and why sometimes the best thing you can do is give yourself permission to try something without knowing exactly where it will lead. This episode also veered into a conversation about friendship and creative support systems - the value of having people around you who understand the realities of creative work, people who can workshop ideas with you, and can also tell you the truth when you need to hear it.

    Inside a Shared Studio Space with Sunny Studios creatives Rach Mayne, Julia Fowler and Hannah Radford

    In this episode, I'm joined by three of the women behind Sunny Studios: painter Rachael Mayne, artist Hannah Radford, and interior stylist Julia Fowler, to talk about what it really looks and feels like to build and sustain a shared creative space. We talk about how they found their large originally unglamorous space and why that was actually a smart move. What I hadn't expected going into this conversation was how much the shared space has changed each of their individual practices. All three talk about confidence; the kind that comes from having people around you who genuinely love your work, who'll give you honest feedback on a painting, and who will talk you down from an anxious spiral before it takes hold. Rach reflects on how working alongside others helped her lean into her biggest and boldest work yet. Hannah talks about learning through osmosis- watching an entire exhibition come together from the inside. Julia speaks about the shift of actually going to work, and what that has meant for how she shows up in her business and how her kids understand what she does. We also talk about how they divide the space and costs, how admin mostly takes care of itself, the value of growing slowly and carefully, and why the personality fit between studio members matters more than you'd think. You can find Rachael Mayne on her website and on Instagram. You can find our earlier chat on anxiety here  You can find Hannah Radford on her website and on Instagram.  You can find Julia Fowler on her website and on Instagram.  You can find Sunny Studios on Instagram.

    Critique And The Inner Critic with Col Mac

    This week I'm talking to Col Mac, a Brisbane-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice is grounded in painting but regularly extends into text, sculpture, and installation. His work explores time, place, memory, and history. Col has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize and the Brisbane Portrait Prize, with work featured in The New York Times and the Washington Post. In this conversation we're focused on critique; the different forms it's taken across Col's practice, from design briefs and university critique sessions, to the regular group he's kept going with artist friends since graduating, to the more public feedback loop of prize entries and outdoor projections. We get into what happens when you action too much feedback at once, how to filter voices without shutting them out, and why a second set of eyes sometimes surfaces something in your work that you couldn't yet name yourself. Find Col Mac here on instagram and here on his website.  You can find the podcast here on Instagram & here on substack Thanks so much for listening!

    Building a Body of Work With Wendy Marinich

    In this episode, I'm joined by West Australian painter Wendy Marinich. We discuss what it actually looks like to build a body of work when you're in the middle of figuring it all out. Wendy came to painting a few years ago, after careers in floristry, catering, and working as a pasta maker at a well-known Perth restaurant. In that relatively short time, she's developing a practice that has a cohesive feel to it, full of mid-century warmth, bold colour, and a real sense of considered intent. I've been watching her work evolve for a while now, and I wanted to bring her on to talk about the process behind that, not from a place of looking back, but from right inside it. We talk about where ideas begin for Wendy;  that moment of instant clarity she had when she walked into her sister-in-law's house and saw a collection of vintage glass arranged by colour, and knew that was her next exhibition. We get into what happens when you have a clear concept but your instincts start pulling you somewhere else mid-series, and how she uses her body of work as a deliberate skills-building exercise. We also talk about the role of commissions, painting one-offs versus series, working on multiple pieces simultaneously, and why this year, for the first time, she decided not to book her exhibition before finishing the work. Find Wendy Marinich here on Instagram and her website  You can find the podcast here on Instagram & here on substack Thanks so much for listening!
