Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

1. Where do you currently reside and work?\u00a0<\/strong> I currently live in Newcastle, NSW, Australia.<\/p>\n

2. How long have you been making art and what lead you to start?\u00a0<\/strong> I have been making art my entire life but started a serious practice about twenty years ago. I guess I started making art as a way to deal with the world around me. My life is easier with art in it.<\/p>\n

3. Did you study art or is it inherent?\u00a0<\/strong> I studied art at university but left with one subject to completion. \u00a0Although I think art education is a great thing. I realized pretty quickly that time was of the essence with my practice: I didn\u2019t want to spend any more time learning impractical things and I ultimately figured out that a degree would not make me a great artist.<\/p>\n

4. How would you describe sally Bourke?<\/strong>\u00a0 Sally Bourke is a driven person with very specific ideas!\u00a0 Some say too soft, some say too hard.\u00a0 I like what I do and I have a great life.<\/p>\n
