How many of us run towards something we don't know how to do?

I would say for the most part, we run in the opposite direction! But for NSW South Coast based artist Nicole Kelly, it's a major driver in her painting. Her desire to paint subject matter she is quite sure how to tackle, is what keeps her interested.

It also means she has that elusive career that is built across different genres.

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

  • what winning the Brett Whitely travelling scholarship meant to her practice
  • why she refused to show or engage with the commercial world of art for the first five years of her career
  • how she made the leap from full time work AND painting, to purely painting
  • how she came to be represented by arthouse gallery
  • what impact moving between genres has on her practice
  • the role chess plays in her life, you'll love this!

Nicole states that painting is life for her. And when you hear about her dedication and approach to her practice, you really see it is. Nicole also runs workshops and retreats so if you like the sound of learning under her, head to her website and sign up to her mailing list.
