An edited version of this episode is also a video which you can see here:

When I started this podcast in July 2016 with no knowledge of audio recording – let alone how to start a podcast – I never imagined that four years later I would have interviewed close to a hundred painters, as well as curators and authors, and have a YouTube channel with over 100 videos filmed on my iPhone.

Building up this podcast would not have been possible, though, without the encouragement of those close to me and the time and generosity of my guests as well as many others’ support in the wonderful Australian arts community.

It has also been a privilege to get to know so many of you listeners either through messages, comments on social media or meeting you in person. Even if we haven’t had any contact, you are the reason I keep doing the show so thank you for listening.

I couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate the centenary episode than the Art Gallery of NSW where about a quarter of my podcast guests are finalists in the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes. So I’d like to say a big thankyou to the Art Gallery of NSW who allowed me in with my selfie stick to film and speak in front of these works. 

You can listen to this episode as an audio guide if you are at the gallery (scroll down for a map of where the works are), watch the edited version as a video here or just listen as an audio episode – all the works are reproduced below.

Next to each artist’s name is a time marking for each painting so you can skip forward or back.

    I am so grateful to have discovered your podcast. It is my favorite podcast to listen to while I paint. You ask pointed and meaningful questions and you slip into the background and let the artists answer and reveal so much. Such wonderful and inspiring content.
