Ep 118 Fiona Verity and Julie Nicholson from the Art Wank podcast

Talking with Painters

Fiona Verity and Julie Nicholson have a lot in common; they were both born in the UK, both met their husbands while backpacking in Australia, are both emerging artists and are both very funny.

But they also have distinctly different personalities and it’s this contrast that makes their arts podcast ‘Art Wank’ so interesting and entertaining.

They interviewed me earlier this year and when I heard they were exhibiting at The Other Art Fair in Sydney I thought it was the perfect opportunity to interview them back.

So here it is! A fun chat about their lives, their podcast and their art.

See below for details of The Other Art Fair, examples of their beautiful work and for links to the podcast and other things we chatted about in the show.
