The Roseanna Chew Podcast

Here’s my zoom recorded podcast originally from 29.10.2020. This in fact which was my second attempt at trying to use zoom to record a podcast with Andy Greenacre as the first time we had technical difficulties who is a Suffolk based artist/photographer also does radio for the local Suffolk radio station for BBC Radio Suffolk. We talk a lot his university experience abs what that was like his artwork process, how he creates his artwork what his artwork is through sculptural installation for example the piece titled ‘Sandscape' made up of 520 ish pieces forms of waste plastic packing in his words he did for the exhibition titled Beyond Plastic last year from the 3rd Of August to the 29th Of August 2019 at the lovely Minories Art Gallery in Colchester Essex which I got to see which was cool to check out particularly to see his work it was great for the first time in person. Also through his photography too as he had photography workshop business where he does photography courses. What also was great that we could connect with our love of the idea of both our artwork we both do which is sculptural installation is about interaction and engaging with it from the public from all levels so it’s stimulating all your senses hopefully in a positive way as I for me personally I always want to create work which people love like my beautiful red den sculptural installation titled R.E.D AKA stands for Roseanna’s Everlasting Den which you can go inside and experience creating a a way to engage with others chat together how can you not like it it’s got such a comforting cosy inviting vibe appearance to it particularly with having the lights inside it I love it so much. Also which is what I love so much not just looking at a 2D painting a traditional piece of artwork for example which I don’t find as exciting in my opinion so that was great for us to discover as we chatted we had that connection. Finally if you can share it with your friends spread the word on this raw un edited podcast of mine would be much appreciated. Thanks. Roseanna

Originally recorded last year in March 2019 on the 16.3.2019 in person inside my beautiful red den sculptural installation titled Roseanna’s Everlasting Den when it was exhibited at The Minories Art Gallery in Colchester Essex as part of the exhibition Lost In Wonderland curated by my wonderful fellow artist creative friend Gemma Abbott who worked their previously before it had ti close unfortunately this year due to the horrible virus Covid-19 but luckily now its with its management still The Victor Batte-Lay Foundation and The Arts Council of England too combined getting sorted out taken care off to reshape and re build it keeping its character hopefully too as it’s such a pretty lovely building compared to Firstsite Art Gallery next door which is this big modern building. so hopefully in the future it will be back up and running for the public also with great new cafe too as I loved the cafe also. With two of my wonderful best friends Nicola and Tim on talking about their experience volunteering helping out Foundation Art Students at Colchester Institute in Colchester Essex. I do hope you enjoy if anyone listens to this as they talk honestly and openly Nicola and Tim. This was something I was interested in doing too as I love the idea of helping out giving some advice the Foundation Students having been one myself but I’ve never had the chance yet and maybe now it’s not something that I want to definitely happen now still but could still be a fun experience say if it did happen maybe potentially especially after hearing how Nicola and Tim had to prepare for each chat with each student in the groups they got learning about each students work individually and they don’t get a lot of time with each student to give out feedback in tutorials a few minutes I think for each student I don’t know if I could do it actually particularly on my own it would be quite intense and stressful maybe at times so in that sense I think they were lucky they were doing it both together to be able to back each other if one is lost in thoughts knowing what to say for that student that would be my worry. I obviously always feel so comfortable and easy doing a podcast with them as they are two of my best friends so I hope that comes across our natural chatty conversational friends camaraderie together we have. Finally give it a listen if your interested and enjoy it. Finally if you can share it with your friends spread the word on this raw un edited podcast of mine would be much appreciated. Thanks. Roseanna

From in September this year the 14.9.2020. I did another zoom online raw, honest, real and authentic not edited podcast of mine where I was joined by my fellow art creative friend the lovely Connie Van Helfteren who I met on the Art Foundation Course back in 2014 at Colchester Institute. From her experience of Art School doing the Foundation Course studying photography at Colchester Institute which we talk about what was her experience like for her from her perspective. Then continuing with a photography to do a photography Degree in the wonderful jazzy arty place that is Brighton. What was her experience was studying photography in Brighton. Working at Firstsite Art Gallery last year during the summer holidays being in charge managing the Children’s Art Makers Activities Table in Firstsite in Colchester Essex and in Harwich at the Harwich Arts and Heritage Centre. and in her current job now at Level Best. Where her job involves helping adults with learning Difficulties learn and gain important valuable work experience including training in the Level Best Art Cafe Restaurant in Colchester. Which I think sounds so rewarding personally as a job so thanks again Connie for a real down to earth podcast chat I much appreciate your time being on my podcast. Finally hopefully you listeners can enjoy this real un edited raw podcast chat and if you can share it with your friends it would be great thanks again. Roseanna

A lovely not edited again real in-depth zoom recorded again podcast chat in two parts as we had some technical difficulties with zoom which which meant we had to zoom twice so hopefully anyone whose listening doesn’t mind as it’s been a lot easier to still to do through zoom since lockdown due to Covid- 19 from 7.7.2020 back in the summer in July. I did with my lovely fellow creative guest Rebecca Buckle. Rebecca Buckle is a fellow creative neurodiverse magical women artist as I would describe her as we both talk about this on the podcast and how she describes herself too. Who works at Firstsite Art Gallery which is where I met her last year around May /June I think when I was volunteering and she had recently got the job as a Gallery Assistant and as I got to get to know her and her knowing me during my time volunteering on shifts with her also thought she would make a interesting podcast guest so I told her and asked her and luckily she was interested which was great but we didn’t actually do a podcast recorded chat until then a year later finally we did it. Unfortunately though when we finally decide to to plan a date to do it COVID -19 comes so on zoom was a safer easier option as it’s mentioned at the beginning. Rebecca makes handmade puppets in her spare time to use to make performing theatre shows and has experience working in a school. She studied a creative performance acting degree. We both were part of a Arts event back in January earlier this year as part of Unfamiliar’s a Colchester based art event. The wonderfully fellow creatively talented Gemma Abbott my friend who I told Rebecca about and so then that’s how she was able to be apart of this particular Unfamiliar’s event as it appealed to Rebecca who organises for other local artists to join and be a part of share there creativity every four months and this one was themed On Freaks held at the wonderful venue Colchester Art Centre. I did a live podcast recording with small audience but still was so exciting still to have some people come watch me and her for my second live podcast with the great fellow artist as my guest in interviewed Lisa Temple Cox who I loved chatting too and Rebecca herself did a live theatrical style dance performance piece on stage. Which was great to watch and see her do as obviously having studied performance art it made perfect sense for her to show off this work! So overall we have a great chat so please I hope this is an enjoyable listen for you all! Do let me know what you think and share it spread the word about this podcast would be much appreciated too of course! It all helps. Thanks again. Roseanna

Here’s my latest updated again first though solo done on zoom recorded podcast from last month in August from on the 26.8.2020 with the lovely Iris Dina Gunnarsdottir talking about life after art school at Colchester Institute what get thoughts were on it her how it helped her with her art practice, Her degree show piece how she felt about it was it. We then go to talk about the present day her job as an Firstsite Art Gallery Assistant working multiple jobs including teaching clay workshops to school groups working on the Art Makers Table in the holidays assisting helping the children alongside their parents too to make the activities whilst at Firstsite. Also working at The Refugee Action Colchester as a Volunteer Team Member. Her love of working with clay, making pottery at the Colchester Makers Space. For example she showed me her lovely clay made teapot on the podcast which I used a photo of her showing it for the podcast thumbnail as it’s a really creatively proud happy photo of iris showing off of her clay teapot which is great. Also Iris kindly edited this the talented girl she is! This is much appreciated thanks taken from three podcast recordings we had to do on zoom due to technology failures and a time limit on my zoom in particular so hopefully you enjoy listening to this. Thanks again Roseanna.

Thought I would just say to anyone listening to this this recording has been slightly edited using my voice notes app I love so much on my phone as I managed to share it on to the voice notes app. This is a bit crazy for me as I don’t try to edit my podcasts normally as I firstly I can’t really edit I haven’t learnt really to be honest I’m a bit lazy and I just like the raw authenticity of them just left as they are naturally. But this was jus a tiny section I had deleted. Anyway now back onto my podcast from Tuesday the 4th of August I had Sam Eagle who is a musician/singer signed to Cooking Vinyl Records. We talked about what was early on that inspired him to want to make music which he answered said about the film the School Of Rock with the actor Jack Black in being an early inspiration for him! On Being what kind of style is his music! His upcoming New music release this Friday on the day in fact this will come out I thought as it would work well for helping to promote his music for him with this podcast which must be such a exciting thing for him as hopefully lots of people will check out out and now on this day I’m writing this background information for the context of the podcast he had mercy out too consisting of T-Shirts with a cool bright collaged design on them spoiler alert! We also talk a lot about gigs touring for him? What his favourite experiences gigging and touring have been for him and whe he was with his band he was in with The Lemon Lizards! He told me about about going to Texas in America to play at this festival called South by Southwest which was a great experience for him and his band he was with he said. But in terms of making music he does it solo he told me! Including talking about one big festival he played at which was Latitude Festival excitingly for him hey which he performed at in 2018 on the BBC Introducing Stage selected by BBC Introducing Suffolk’s. I also mentioned some of my favourite gig festival experiences including actually at Latitude Festival in particular and going to Rize Festival in Chelmsford Essex in 2018 which was meant to replace unfortunately V Festival but it was actually just one year as Rize Festival didn’t come back last year in 2019 and obviously not this year due to COVID-19 so maybe next year it will return. We talk about him when doting lockdown starting streaming his music and being able to chat to viewers on Facebook then recently moving over to Twitch which is gaming streaming app. I’ve rambled on so much so I’m going to end on this asking Sam what’s one music creative in his case material he couldn’t live without and why did spoiler alert lol he said singing being able to sing!. So I hope you enjoy everyone don’t forget most importantly if you do fancy sharing it on social media to your friends spreading the word about this podcast which would help me out would be much appreciated thanks a lot and check out most excitingly for Sam himself his new music and merchandise being released out now today as I’m finished writing this information for the podcast Friday the 7th of August 2020! Lastly thanks so much to Sam for wanting to be involved as guest when I asked him on my podcast much appreciated. Roseanna.

Hey everyone listening so here’s my audio zoom recorded podcast from originally last month in July on the 23.7.2020 it’s now the 7.8.2020 with one of my best friends Ross Connell first time solo chatting to him and obviously if COVID unfortunately hadn’t come about I would of iced to have gone the podcast on person as I find it more special being face to face with the podcast guest I’m with at times to build a better connected conversation but anyway we have to make the most of the internet and this great app zoom. So Ross who I met originally on the Foundation Fine Art Course at Colchester Institute back in 2014 we both were on through our mutual met friend also on the foundation course the wonderful Nicola Rushen who I met first then got introduced to Ross and other friends Nicola had met who became later on one of my best friends and Ross and herself became a couple which was so lovely to see that relationship blossom through becoming close friends originally to being girlfriend and boyfriend whilst still during on the Foundation Course and both of them are amazing I feel very lucky to have in my life! So that’s the story of how I met Ross let’s talk about what he actually does being a fellow creative like me also but in a different creative form to me which is in music! So he is absolute rockstar legend lol as I call him in a band I absolutely love it’s in fact one of my bands some of the songs I’ve grown to absolutely adore called Rubber Jaw who sings and plays the guitar co writes a he music with fellow band member called Michael Hemmings who is friend from school and so they’ve known each other other for long time now. We talk about some of his favourite gigs he had experienced being in Rubber Jaw including a big festival for Rubber Jaw and a personal highlight for Ross he told me was Latitude Festival last year in July 2019 getting to be selected for the BBC Introducing stage. Personally I wished I had seen them play live at latitude maybe another time they will get that opportunity again fingers crossed that would be so exciting as I love to see them play live when I can when they play in Colchester Essex as fan of their music it’s just so wonderful with friends to sing along and dance getting lost in their music in the moment! Annoyingly I forget to ask him what his favourite Rubber Jaw song is so that could be for the next podcast with Michael too but I said what mine was I have more than one really to be honest it’s hard to nail down so I’m going for Spectacle and Feeling Funny two absolute banner tunes by them but then if I had to put one first before the other Spectacle would be first then Feeling Funny! Lol look at me a massive fan alert but it’s true I am and I’m not ashamed to say it! So hopefully in the future at some point I said to Ross afterwards we can do another podcast interview with both of them together talking about both of their experiences together from not just Ross’s perspective this time Michael’s too which would be great. Much appreciated thanks again to Ross for being on my podcast again solo this time though this was one of my favourites as I was with a close friend chatting so it felt like such an easy podcast chat to do and due Covid-19 I hadn’t spoken much to Ross so we had a more in-depth catch up even before I started recording. Of course hopefully I would love to see you in person at some point again obviously within distance with the squad as I miss Ross and our friendship squad! Ross is such a great legendary funny talented genuine guy who is a great friend of mine. I feel very lucky to have him in my life! Ross is always bringing the lols banter making me laugh I love it and love being in your company. Lastly please if you fancy spread the word on this podcast by sharing this podcast around with your friends so they can listen to it also would be great if you enjoy it yourself listening to it would be much appreciated. Thanks so much again classic me I’ve rambled on lol Roseanna.

With the wonderful interesting artist Essex based LISA TEMPLE COX at the latest wonderfully cool and fun excitingly UNFAMILIARS event ON FREAKS Themed at the great venue I Colchester Arts Centre on the Wednesday evening the 15th of January 2020 earlier this year which was exciting to have something exciting to happen in January as it’s always a bit of a dull month I find to be honest. So with this podcast my second live podcast with a audience it was so different of course I felt a lot more professional than ever on a stage we were with microphones two this time as the previous live with a audience Unfamiliars podcast I did which was the first ever one I did inside my beautiful red den sculptural installation I had one to share with my guest Elinor Clare Rowlands last year in March 2019. ladies and gentlemen here you can hear me interview and chat ask her questions about her own artwork practice, life background her story basically including her having a studio at Cuckoo Farm in Colchester Essex. We also connect together on with assemblage which like Joseph Cornell does and kurt Schwitters both artists we like.

Anyway it’s a great chat not edited as usual not changed up honest and raw!

Originally recorded on my dictaphone then I played back with my phone on so it was recording what was said onto my phone done on the 2.10.18 last year which was most importantly, interestingly and excitingly my first podcast interview chat kind of it was really a experiment with two lovely friends of mine I had gotten to know whilst I was studying myself at Colchester Institute and stayed in touch with after I left they were Iris and Charlotte who were in their final Third year at the time and I had gone back to visit. They were essentially my guinea pigs lucky them hey! Who I’m so appreciative off! Thanks so much again girls helping me try out this experimental idea I had in my head to try out! So yeah if you wanna give this one a listen go for it would be much appreciated and share it with your mates I’m so proud of this podcast I created and love it so much so all the positive vibes from me Roseanna Chew the red obsessed Arty gal! I’ve been very lucky with getting a lot of my fellow arty friends on and newly met creatives and I can’t wait for what next year 2020 brings and beyond it’s exciting times ladies and gentlemen!

From the 20.6.19 earlier this year in the summertime originally she sent this recording to me .

In this podcast which she speaks about how Superglue came about and how she got to be apart of it! Her interest in music what inspired her and with photography also! Her time living in Brighton! Her studying at university but not in music which surprised me as I thought she might off! Including lol bless him her dog in the podcast barking called Alfie! Overall It was such great opportunity to get a girl in music on my podcast as a creative girl myself but in another form of art sculpture we need to be boosting other girls helping each other honestly #girlpower all the way I believe! Amazingly I have now three girls in music that have recorded for me podcasts which is great! So thanks so much to krista you’re a talented gal much appreciated and I hope you love this everybody and if so give it a share like if you can thanks! It’s raw honest not edited again so exactly what krista sent me which I like and I think it’s important to keep it like that like that as I don’t want to mess around with it!

With the lovely Amy Williams chatting together in this podcast originally recorded from on the 6.11.19 of three parts as we had to pause the first time as we had little interruption and then I decided I wanted to get her talking more about her art and the art she likes who works as the Programme Organiser in Learning and Education at Firstsite Art Gallery in Colchester what that job role entails.

So thanks Amy for being apart of my podcast taking the time to have chat with me much appreciated glad you could be on it and finally if you enjoy this lovely chatting conversational podcast episode not edited again as all of my podcast episodes are making them more so I think of course organically, raw and honest give it it listen, share it with your friends would be much appreciated thanks Roseanna!

Chatting to Fran Bailey From the 4.7.19 originally. An Artist based in Wivenhoe near to Colchester as I got in touch with her though Beth Hull who works at Firstsite Art Gallery in Colchester. We talk about in this podcast the summer art children’s club Fran organises which takes place in August for two days at The Minories Art Gallery in Colchester which we discuss as I was interested at the time in being involved with belong her and I later on did fir one of the days and I really enjoyed it working with the children helping them creatively I hope I can be involved with helping out next year, her early art inspirations, degree course involving projection installation using super8film which really interested me as I quite interested in experimenting with super8film. Basically it was big long great rambled raw not edited conversation for me with a really fun interesting creative. I hope you guys can all enjoy this and if you do share it with your friends that would be greatly appreciated.

With Beth Hull originally recorded from the 22.5.19 in the cinema room as it was free to use at Firstsite Art Gallery In Colchester where Beth works in fact at the time which was handy! who is the Programme Organiser of Young People at Firstsite Art Gallery in Colchester who manages the Yak Young Artists Community group for 15 to 25 year olds being one of the older members being 25 the cut off age which I’m apart off from since starting volunteering at Firstsite back in April further into the process of me volunteering I met Beth and she told me about yak and I got be a member but hopefully can continue to be involved in the future as I get older with exhibitions as I loved being involved with this current exhibition titled What’s the Problem?. We also talk about Beth’s early artist inspirations as a child, from going to The Gilberd secondary School in Colchester, to art school university life where she studied which was at The University of Wales Institute Cardiff studying A BA (Hons) Fine Art In Sculpture which was great I always love to hear my guests journey as they always do different. To her experience with teaching and working at the great art gallery Firstsite in Colchester Essex. Overall it was a lovely podcast chat with Beth and I hope you all enjoy listening to it guys and girls! It would be much appreciated and if you can share it around with your friends.

So this is the second podcast from September the 17.9.19 originally as the first one was great we decided to do arrange to do a second one and I think we do a third Podcast with the theme being based on mental Health as she suggested so she have written some more poems for that one with the wonderful Neurofantastic poet Christina King who goes by CJ as she likes to be called The Authoress in 6 parts as she tells 6 of her autistic poems based around her experience having got autism and ADHD as a mother with a son too with autism and we talk about them again not edited just very original, honest and raw. Also I got Andy Derbyshire the filmmaker to record the audio for us again which was great and we got lucky as we were able to record in Firstsite Art Gallery in Colchester in fact using one there meeting rooms. My favourite poem out of the six she had written and read out was called The Lost Girls which just has so much passionate, girl female, power, love to it so expressively beautiful in that sense as I felt most connected with it being girl myself I felt the connection to all the other girls who haven’t been diagnosed yet or were later on in life which is what happened to Christina so this poem is based on her experiencing that which from what she was telling me. Which you all will hear in this podcast. Overall it was really great again to listen to more of her poetry she is such creatively talented woman and I feel I have connected with her really well as we both have autism and both love being creative and we both have the Unfamailers art event connection in common which the fellow wonderful creative Gemma Abbott organises. Please I hope you enjoy guys more of Christina’s poetry again here with much love and appreciation. Thanks again.

Back March this year on the Saturday the 16th of March 2019 showing off my beautiful red den sculptural installation I had exhibited at the Minories Art Gallery in Colchester as part of a exhibition called Lost In Wonderland curated by the wonderfully talented Gemma Abbott who works in the Minories Gift Shop who has asked if I wanted my den in as she thought it would fit the theme perfectly and I said yes of course as I had really wanted my den exhibited again particularly in day the Minories in that main beautiful gallery room. So showing it off to was amazing they felt really proud of me I felt proud to show off my beautiful artwork to three of my best friends Nicola, Ross and Tim who I originally met on the Foundation Art Course at Colchester Institute back in 2014 alongside to my surprise which I didn’t know they were coming along too which made it even more fun and special two of Tims friends one I had met last year Jack who went to secondary School with Tim who is this amazingly talented portrait painter like my mum whose painting of Tim was also excited at the National Portrait Gallery last year in June amazingly for the first time funnily enough on the Private View evening that’s when I met him as I was one of my mums guests with Tim there too of course as one of his guests and it was such a fun, special exciting evening. Also Aidan one of Tims university met friends back when they were studying in London who I met for the first time on the Saturday who was lovely originally from Manchester. So of course whilst we were experiencing being inside my den together I wanted to do a little arty, chatty, loose and fun podcast critique which was made even more particularly interesting as Aidan and Jack hadn’t seen any of not artwork before up close so it was great to hear raw immediate fresh thoughts on how they were feeling thinking about being inside my den which I thought I led the the chat it was lighthearted and fun but honest of course as always considering the Friday night beforehand Ross had a gig as he plays in a band Rubber Jaw that we all went too watch to supper him so we were a bit tired still particularly him and Tim who helped Rubber Jaw our playing also on the night. So hopefully next time my den is exhibited somewhere or in Colchester most likely again and we inside it together chatting about what we think about it experiencing inside of I hope it could be stronger we could speak more in-depth maybe I don’t know? But moving on as I’m rambling classic me hopefully you guys and girls still enjoy listening to this of us chatting together inside my den and if you wanna share it tell your friends about it would be much appreciated thanks again as I love making this podcast and sharing them.

So we myself and the wonderful Nicola Rushen one of my amazing best friends decided to record a loose raw honest not edited chatty catch up podcast back in May on the 23.5.19 before the summer started whilst out on a cinema date she was driving out of Colchester Essex as we had been to see a film at Firstsite Art Gallery as it screens films in their theatre room also it was Wild Rose we saw my choice and I thought Nicola would enjoy it too and she did. Talking about any life updates which there were in particular as she had a children’s play coming up in the summer she was involved with as she was part of assisting directing band was in actually too which she hadn’t been before with The Mad Apple Collective a Performance Art Theatre Company based in Chelmsford Essex which was really exciting and special for her. So I was super excited to support her and go see it of course. The play was called The Boy who Build a Time Machine. It was on in July from the Saturday the 13th in the day time to the Sunday the 14th and I went on the Saturday morning for the 11 o’clock showing and it was so good for a children’s play I was really proud of her the music Nicola’s character performances. It was made even better as Ross turned up to see that performance supporting Nicola her boyfriend as we such a close friendship group Ross is one of my best friends too as we got to have a catch up chat together before the play started and then afterwards briefly we got to see Nicola to say hi and well done. Sorry guys as always I’m rambling on and will try to post more fresher podcasts I’ve just got so many great podcasts from earlier this year still to share with you all so hope you don’t you mind too much.

Overall and MA in Curating Collections. Overall I’m really happy I got to speak to Laurie as she was great chatting to me. Speaking honestly and openly I do think though I couldn’t off listened more at times giving Laurie more of a chance to talk so if I was to do another second podcast with Laurie I would definitely try to improve learn from this one to progress onwards and upwards! But I hope you all enjoy listening to it and share and like it around would be greatly appreciated thanks so much Guys and Gals and thanks so much again particularly to Laurie for wanting to be apart of my podcast.

Again this podcast is honest, raw and not edited. Hope you guys can enjoy it share and like it would be much appreciated. Finally big thanks particularly to Lauren herself if you hear this and see this information for wanting to come meet me in person and be on my podcast you were so lovely on it and I loved finally meeting you properly.

With the lovely fellow arty gal Emma Theedom like myself who I studied a BA Hons Fine Art Course with and graduated last year at Colchester Institute which is where we met when I joined her and the rest of the group which were second years when I was a third year as I was going part time so instead of graduating after three years I stayed on a fourth year to get more support and time with my Course particularly with my dissertation as I didn’t want to rush it. Anyway enough about me hey back to Emma an artist who is artist featuring chosen mediums she enjoys using like painting, and photoshop which we chat about, actress and singer who was lovely to chat too we chat about her early art inspirations what and who got her into art which was interesting to hear, her Art School University experience, Art4u a really cool Essex art collective which I had my work in in their first pop up art exhibition last year in April which was great fun which Emma is part of alongside Joe Daniels and Thomas Dilloway who both I studied with previously for three years before studying alongside Emma.

From this Sunday afternoon the 6.10.19. Catching up for a podcast chat with my oldest childhood best friend Asha Mistry talking about how our friendship started what was it that both drew us to each other to become such close friends from growing up in Braintree Essex a small town meeting as toddlers with our mums at a mums and toddlers group before primary school together, her university experience studying law art creativity of course still even though Asha didn’t practice art but still being that this is an art based podcast I couldn’t help bringing it up as Asha was really creative at primary school making jewellery like with daisies to make daisy chains and drawing which I remember enjoying doing together and lucky for me and herself she still enjoys it as a hobby including her starting a ASMR YouTube channel surprisingly for me personally and what artists and artists work she likes which was interesting to hear about! It was so lovely generally I thought which I really enjoyed. Asha spoke so well answering my questions very articulately the fact we both still so close but we don’t see each other a lot to be fair compared to my other friends as we are busy people even though we live in the same town so so it is special when we do. Again this podcast was not edited to make it as organically raw as possible original to me. So if you wanna give it a listen check it out it be greatly appreciated guys and then if you can share it afterwards to with all your friends! Lastly thanks again so much to Asha for being interested to want to be apart of my podcast much appreciated I have a lot of love for you my girl.

Originally recorded on the 12th of March 2019 At the Minories Art Gallery in Colchester Essex with Jane Frederick an artist who also previously was one of my first Fine Art Tutors I had in my first year as a student studying Fine Art of my Fine Art Degree Course At Colchester Institute. We chat about how she got inspired be a artist specialising in painting her own Art School experience, how she became a Fine Art Tutor and what that was like. It was a really lovely conversation chat with Jane as we have become friends since she became my tutor originally. Genuinely I love her honesty and passion for creativity like myself and we both can appreciate each other’s artwork which is different but that what makes it interesting as it would be boring if we did the same work and thoughts which is great. So overall I was pleased with it a raw honest not edited podcast chat as usual from me. Hopefully guys and gals you enjoy listening to it too and if you do would be great if you can share it around would be much appreciated. Thanks again.
