Show Notes

It’s been a while between episodes, so in this chat I’m filling you in on some rather big changes that have been happening in my art practice and, well, my whole life as a consequence.

As I’ve been working on my latest solo exhibition ‘An Ornamental Education’ (Art Gallery of Ballarat 7th-14thMarch 2024), I’ve been working intimately with historical sources for the first time, and it has lit a big fire in me for this method of making research-based artwork.

It gradually became clear to me, with my art history background, that what I had created already would be a great foundation for a MA research project. This raised the question for me- is returning to post graduate research something that is calling to me after 25 years away from academia?

As it turns out, there were so many yeses that have presented themselves to this question overt the past 6 months, that this is indeed what will be starting in about 3 month’s time. Join me for this cozy studio chat as I walk you through how this latest evolution in my art career has transpired and why I have made this choice to return to life as a post-graduate student.

And if you’re a visual person like me and would like to see me in the studio alongside some lovely footage of me painting for my latest exhibition, then be sure to pop on over

Dr. Ursula Betka was one of my favourite lecturers and tutors during my 6 years at Melbourne University studying art history in the 1990’s. Her area of specialisation, in which she has a Ph.D, focused on Medieval and Renaissance sacred images.
