You may know my guest this week for a variety of reasons.

You may know her distinctive drawings of interiors and objects captured with vigour and life; she may have taught you in one of her much loved art classes on Sydney's Northern Beaches; or maybe you've tuned in to the wildly entertaining and engaging ArtW**k podcasts.

My guest this week is the Sydney based, UK born artist Fiona Verity.

Fiona was drawing long before she and Julie Nicholson were chatting with Australia's great artists.

Sketching for Fiona is like breathing for the rest of us. Essential. Life affirming. With a sketch book in one hand and a pencil in the other, Fiona can be on a walk, waiting at the shops, sitting in her car, anywhere really, sketching the world around her.

On today's episode of Interview With An Artist, among many things we talk about:

  • how the death of Fiona's mother lead to a realisation of the importance of creating art
  • how the different stages of a woman's life play in to her creative energy and direction
  • how Fiona handles her prolific number of ideas
  • and what she's learnt after interviewing over 100 fellow artists

Fiona is everything you expect and more! Funny, generous and high energy. We often hear Fiona's voice but it's rarely talking about her work and life, so I am really excited to bring you this episode.
