This episode is a face to face interview with my very good friend Emilie. She has a full time job in a Melbourne office but paints in her spare time (with her cat!) and exhibits her work. I’ve seen her apartment gradually becoming an art studio, canvases starting to invade every room and her style change over a short period of time too. Emilie will explain what type of paint she uses and the techniques she’s experimenting with. We’ll also try to define her style and discuss about how she knows whether a painting is finished, and how she comes with their names. Emilie will also tell you where you can see her work (whether you live in Melbourne or not)…and we’ll finish with one of those projects she had kept a secret until it was out: she’s also published a short and fun book!
