  • What is an artists residency
  • The luxury of focusing on art and nothing else
  • Toucans, scorpions, iguanas, halloween crabs
  • The stories behind endangered creatures
  • Developing a distinctive style to highlight the impact of species loss
  • What is special, revered, hallowed?
  • Corona virus in a chat about embroidery?
  • School art squashing the desire to be artistic
