Show Notes
Have you ever dreamed of turning your hobby into your career? Have you ever felt a little lost, unsure of your path or lacking direction? What's it like to sit across from some of Australia's most powerful, inspirational women and be trusted with the honour of capturing them with your paintbrush? Tsering Hannaford is a seven time Archibald Prize finalist - one of the most prestigious Art prizes in Australia. Her portraits have been finalists every year since 2015 and last year she came Runner Up with a self portrait. Tsering has painted some incredible female powerhouses and is herself an absolute artistic powerhouse. Though it wasn't until one of her pieces was purchased by another notable Aussie creative, Barry Humphries AO (aka Dame Edna Everage!) that she realised she might be able to turn her talent into her career.
