Daring Creatively: Unfiltered

Send us Fan Mail

Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record.

This is a bonus episode and it's a little different. This time, I'm the one in the hot seat.

I was recently a guest on Ros Gervay's Paint Rest Repeat Podcast, and the conversation got so honest and so real that I wanted to share it with you here on my own feed. Ros asked me about finding your unique art style and developing your creative voice, and I ended up sharing things I haven't really talked about publicly before.

In this conversation we cover the story behind my excavated landscape paintings and how that process came to be. How identity, motherhood, postpartum depression and major life change shaped my work. Why finding your style as an artist is not something you can logic your way into, why it happens by making the work, staying open to experimentation and following what keeps calling you back, and how self-doubt, comparison and overthinking get in the way.

If you are an artist trying to find your voice, or if you have ever wondered about the story behind my work and how I got here, this one is for you.

You can find Ros Gervay and the Paint Rest Repeat Podcast on Apple Podcasts and all major platforms.

Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record.

In this episode Korynn calls British abstract painter Talya Brookman, based in Sydney. Raised between London, Los Angeles and Australia, Talya's practice is shaped by a lifelong negotiation between movement and stability, and a deep sensitivity to how place is internalised and carried.

In this honest, unplanned conversation two artists talk about battling a painting mid-show and knowing when to stop, the solitude of studio life and how to balance it, going viral on Instagram and what that actually means for an artist, working across large scale abstract canvases in a small studio space, celebrating other artists without competition, the untethered feeling of growing up across multiple countries and how that shaped the work, and why backing yourself is the most important thing you can do.

Talya's solo exhibition Inner Grounds is showing at CBD Gallery in Sydney from May 21st to June 13th, go and see it in person if you can.

If you love art podcasts, conversations about the creative process, or the real behind the scenes life of a working Australian artist, this one is for you.

New episodes drop whenever the call happens.

Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record.

In this episode Korynn calls Southern Highlands-based multi-disciplinary artist and former gallery director Thomas Bucich. The surprise topic: Navigating the Art Market.

Thomas has sat on every side of the desk. As an artist making and selling his own work. As a design consultant buying art for high-end collectors. And as the director of Whitewall Art Projects, the Southern Highlands gallery he ran for six years. 

In this honest, unplanned conversation two artists talk about what it really takes to build a gallery relationship, why there is no magic answer to getting into a good gallery, why the gallerist-artist relationship is exactly like dating, the love-hate process of editing a solo show, working across sculpture, drawing and painting without losing your creative voice, and finding a 20-year-old Icarus sketch that suddenly became relevant again.

Thomas has a solo exhibition opening at Grainger Gallery Canberra from June 11th-28th 2026.

If you love art podcasts, conversations about the real art world, or the behind-the-scenes life of a working Australian artist, this one is essential listening.

Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record.

In this episode Korynn calls Gold Coast-based contemporary Australian artist Llewellyn Skye (known simply as Skye) mid-way through her current solo exhibition Blood, Milk and Honey at Curatorial+Co in Sydney. The surprise topic: Alters and Creative Rituals.

Skye's studio is a living altar. Three walls dedicated to three energetic zones. Handmade ceramics, vintage dressers, natural-dyed fabric, inherited objects from the women in her matrilineal line, all of it feeding directly into one of the most spiritually charged and emotionally honest bodies of work she has ever made.

In this unfiltered conversation two artists talk about the courage it takes to step into a new creative evolution publicly, the altars Skye built in her studio and the releasing ritual she opened her exhibition with, pulling tarot cards mid-process, the women who follow her around the studio, how an overseas residency cracked something open that years of back-to-back shows never could, the psychic moment Korynn had walking into the exhibition for the first time, and what your 96 year old self would tell you right now.

This one will give you goosebumps.

Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise word into the conversation, and hits record.

In this episode Korynn calls Venezuelan-born Australian artist and medical medical professional Marisabel Gonzalez. The surprise topic is how your life informs your work.

For Marisabel, that connection runs deeper than most. She spends her days reading the body in layers through ultrasound, and her nights building paintings in layers in an open-air treehouse studio in the bush. After a corneal transplant that literally changed the way she sees colour, and a studio move that pushed her practice into raw natural light, her work is undergoing its most significant evolution yet.

In this honest, unplanned conversation two artists talk about painting outdoors, what eye surgery does to your relationship with colour, imposter syndrome before a big show, creating pigment from grape skins with a Hunter Valley winery, the fine line between commercial gallery direction and genuine artistic growth, and why sometimes the only way to save a painting is to completely destroy it first.

If you love art podcasts, conversations about the creative process, or the real behind-the-scenes life of a working Australian artist, this one is for you.

In this episode, Korynn picks up the phone and calls her longtime artist friend Holly Eva ,and the conversation goes exactly where it needs to go.

The surprise topic for this episode? Studio Sanctuary.

Holly Eva is a Sydney-based contemporary artist known for her joyful, colour-drenched still life and abstract work. After years painting in busy open studio environments, Holly made a pivotal move to a private studio, and everything changed. Her work, her mindset, her most successful exhibition to date.

In this unfiltered conversation Korynn and Holly talk about what it really means to find your sacred creative space, the magic and madness of the artist's life, selling 18 works in 18 minutes at her Jumbled solo show, her heros Idris Murphy and Ken Done, why failure is a superpower, and what happens when you finally get out of your own way and let the painting lead.

This is the kind of conversation that happens between two artists who truly get each other. Honest, warm, funny, and completely real.

In this episode of Daring Creatively, we’re wandering through the wild garden of creativity — exploring the natural cycles that every artist moves through.

Creativity isn’t a straight line; it’s a series of seasons. There are times for planting ideas, riding the manic momentum of making, celebrating what you’ve grown, and then resting so the next spark can form. I’ll share how learning to recognise these rhythms in my own art practice has helped me avoid burnout and build a studio routine that feels more in flow than forced.

Grab your sketchbook (or your cuppa) and come reflect on your own creative seasons. Together we’ll explore how observing your rhythm, honouring your downtime, and leaning into the messy middle can help you find balance, renew inspiration, and move through burnout into creative flow.

This one was recorded straight from the car, after being thrown into the deep end — quite literally. My husband roped me into helping install a signage job for his company, and I found myself battling a full-blown case of imposter syndrome.

Somewhere between the maths, the vinyl and the panic, I realised… this is exactly how artists feel when they’re just starting out. Awkward. Unsure. Terrified of stuffing it up — but doing it anyway.

In this episode of Daring Creatively, I talk about how taking action can spark intrinsic motivation, build momentum, and lead to true creative confidence — the kind that doesn’t rely on anyone else’s approval.

If you’ve been overthinking instead of creating, consider this your playful reminder that confidence doesn’t come before you start — it arrives mid-chaos, when you’re figuring it out as you go.

Every creative journey is shaped not only by the big breakthroughs, but by the small, everyday choices we make. In this vulnerable and motivational episode of Daring Creatively, artist Korynn Morrison asks: What are you declaring for your future creative self?

We’ll explore how seemingly small decisions can create a butterfly effect that changes the course of your art and your life. Through raw storytelling and heartfelt reflection, this episode is a reminder to keep your focus moving forward, trust the process, and declare a future that feels aligned, authentic, and full of possibility.

If you’ve been craving a creative reset or a gentle kick up the arse to reconnect with your vision, this episode is for you.
