Interview Nada 2

Описание: Meet Western Australian artist Nada Murphy in this in-depth interview about art, rivers, ecology and living a creative life. Nada reflects on childhood memories of the Birrarung/Yarra River in Melbourne, her art education in Perth, and how water and river systems became central to her practice.
​
In this conversation, Nada talks about:
Growing up drawing, studying fine art and psychology, and learning to “trust your hand and your heart” as an artist.
​- How rivers, drought and changing landscapes shaped her exhibitions such as Echoes of the River and projects across Western Australia and Tasmania (including Pipe Clay Lagoon).
​- Working with glass, wire and other materials to tell stories about salt, riverbanks and our relationship with country.
​- Moving from psychologist to full-time artist, using painting to rebuild health, teach others, and create community in the studio.
Why she calls herself (tongue-in-cheek) an “ecological warrior”, the importance of defending special places, and why communities desperately need artists.
​​
This video is perfect for:
Artists and art students interested in landscape, ecology and river stories.
​
People curious about building a creative life over decades, balancing seriousness with joy and humour.
​
Anyone who wants to understand how art can carry story, hold memory of place and speak up about complex environmental issues.
