Clare Brodie is an Australian artist based in Sydney. She is predominately a landscape painter who draws a sense of peace as she deciphers the complexities of nature.  Her paintings reflect her emotional experiences: she creates order and harmony by the use of reduced saturated colour schemes in striking combinations. Clare is an observational artist using scale and placement to create semi-abstract artworks that still time.

We had a wonderful chat with Clare, who patiently waited for us to retrieve the forgotten recording equipment, finally arriving at her home 2 hours late! Sorry, Clare. Her approach to life and her art practice is deeply considered and this shows in her beautiful calming artworks.

Her solo exhibition, entitled, 'Pause-Breathe' is now showing at Studio Gallery Group in Armadale, Victoria.  Exhibition Opening: Friday, August 20, 2021, and runs until Thursday, September 2nd. 

Clare is also represented by Scott Lawrie Gallery in Auckland, NZ.

This week's podcast guest Sandi Hester caught our attention after she found us through Maria Stoljar's podcast, Talking with Painters. Thanks, Maria! We had a look at Sandi's youtube videos and fell in love with her! She is a breath of American fresh air. Her videos are so cheerful fun and informative, definitely check them out. She loves to paint in sketchbooks and is always playing with different mediums and paints. Playful is the word to describe Sandi and it's nice to be reminded that as an artist, painting should be fun! (Not always obviously!). She is influenced by the imperfections in art-making and the mistakes that we build on to create the good.

We had a wonderful zoom chat with Sandi about her approach to art, youtube, her fabulous sketchbooks, the painters she loves, and much more. We think you'll be really inspired by her work and her wonderful view of the world. Fiona also comes up with a great idea to collaborate with Sandi across the pond! We will see what happens with that.....

Artists Sandi mentions -

Alan Jones, artist, sculptor, and maker, is a Sydney-based artist, represented by Olsen Gallery. We spoke to Alan from his studio in Alexandria surrounded by his amazing and diverse artworks. We had a great chat with Alan about his approach to his art works, the diversity in his projects,  his amazing experience on the Fowlers gap residency and much more. Thanks Alan for your time, we had a great time.

'Alan Jones’ work explores ideas that surround notions of identity. Jones works across a broad spectrum of mediums and takes a personal approach to the subject matter. Through this process, Jones aims to communicate the intricacies of human connections and how his roots subsequently influence his work.

Jones gained his Advanced Diploma of Fine Arts in 1997 from the National Art School in Sydney before furthered his education abroad on the Inaugural Pat Corrigan Travelling Scholarship for Painting. In 1998 he returned to Australia, where he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2000 at the National Art School. In 2004 Jones’ portfolio of 10 paintings and drawings, inspired by his time in France and Germany, won the prestigious Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship. The BWTAS saw mom Jones return to Europe where he undertook a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris before working in Berlin and New York.'
