How do creatives manage self-doubt?  In this week's episode, Gemma Rasdell (professional artist and 2022 Wynne Prize Finalist) shares her insights about navigating and thriving despite creative doubt, how to totally surround yourself with a source of inspiration (ie water) and why she chooses to paint on sailcloth rather than paper.

Gemma is one of Australia’s leading young artists and lives a life that sounds as though it’s a setting for a fantasy movie - she lives alone aboard her at-anchor yacht with puppy Arkie and paints every day from an island studio in Sydney’s Pittwater. 
Gemma’s Wynne Prize entry is currently on display at the Art Gallery of NSW and she is also hosting a solo exhibitor “Water Access Only” at The Bathers Pavilion Gallery in Mosman, near Sydney.
