Buckle up for episode 05 🔥

I had the total pleasure of heading down to Alys Scott Hawkins' backyard studio to pick her brain on developing across the plethora of disciplines and mediums, finding and getting funding, how her own journey developed, and much more.

As you'll hear, the reality was this was less of a conversation - I found myself listening intently and learning from Alys' wealth of knowledge and experience gathered from across the creative industries!

This conversation is also available on YouTube here 🎬

Welcome to or welcome back to Season 03 of the INNER AVENUE podcast 🏢🌏This time we have the pleasure of hearing from Hong Kong-born abstract artist and educator, Vera Chiu!

When you're from Southampton, it can be easy to forget our city is a port, and as Vera points out, many people pass through. I personally loved hearing how she found a sense of belonging here, as well as the courage she brings to her creative work as both an abstract artist and workshop facilitator. Vera is the captain of a calm and courageous ship - navigating complex emotion through her practice, and I highly recommend going to check out her solo exhibition 'Two Oceans Apart' this Spring!
