Talking with Painters

Ep 104: Summer Series – Susan Baird


Listen Later

In 2019 I travelled 4 hours west of Sydney, past the Blue Mountains, driving through winding bush roads until I arrived at Hill End, the historic goldmining village which is now also known for its inspiring artist’s community.

It was there that I interviewed Susan Baird who a few years earlier had fallen in love with the town and now has a home and studio there, deep in the bush.

We recorded a previous podcast interview where Susan talked with me about how she became an artist and developed her career. It’s one of the most downloaded episodes on the podcast and you can hear it here.

We also recorded video which I edited down for a YouTube video. I’ve since realised, though, that those video recordings are just as valuable as the podcast interview itself and that’s why I’m bringing you this ‘Summer Series’ of longer recordings from videos. What you’ll hear in this episode is the full audio recording from the video shoot.

Susan’s next solo show is coming up in June 2021 at Arthouse Gallery in Sydney and she has small works in the Gallery’s current group show (January 2021). She is also represented by Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne and it was in the lead up to her last show with Flinders Lane that we recorded this interview.

You can hear the podcast interview by pressing ‘play’ below the above feature photo or listen on your favourite podcast app.
