In this episode, the London-based artist talks about living in Japan and its connection with her home country of New Zealand, why she chose to paint portraits and the responsibility this entails, the experience of coming out as a lesbian in her late twenties, how her paintings became largely autobiographical through painting others from the queer community, her obsession with shoes, and creating a mood in her works.
