Fiona Verity- Art School

In this week's episode, I’m thrilled to sit down with Fiona Verity, a UK born, but Australian-based artist and co-host of the Art Wank podcast. Fiona discusses her return to art school after a decade of being a practicing artist, seeking to fill gaps in her creative practice, art history and academic writing. We discuss how Fiona is finding value in the immersive and collaborative environment at the National Art School in Sydney, where she majors in printmaking. We talk about her appreciation of peers, reserach, criticism and the opportunity to engage deeply with her art. She describes how art school has provided her with the time and space to think, and develop her practice without the pressure of commercial success.You can find Fiona hereYou can find Fiona’s podcast Art Wank that she hosts with Julie Nicholson hereYou can find the Creative Kind Podcast Instagram hereThanks so much for listening!
