I have loved listening to talking with painters over the years. Thankyou so much Maria! It has given me so much inspiration to hear other painters talking about their work. The natural way you bring that out in them is a joy to listen to and learn from. Thankyou so much.

This is such an interesting, engaging, entertaining and insightful podcast for people interested in art and Australian art in particular. As an artist though, working away in isolation as so many do, it has been an invaluable, heartening, encouraging and instructive resource. Maria does an...Read full review »

I have learned a huge amount not just about Australian painters, but also about painting by listening to this wonderful podcast. Maria creates a perfect balance of insight, education and entertainment with every interview.

Your podcast is very interesting and insightful. It is wonderful to listen to other artists having similar thoughts and experiences than myself. And more than that, discovering new and fresh viewpoints with a lot of wisdom.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past couple years and it is such an inspiration. I love the questions Maria asks the artists and their responses are always so insightful. Listening from the US makes me want to travel to Australia to visit the outback and take a gallery tour.

I love to listen to Talking With Painters while I paint; so interesting to hear how some of our best artists think and work. Maria is great, and is a sympathetic and inquisitive interviewer.

Love this podcast. So many amazing interviews with wonderful and inspiring Australian artists. Episode 18 with Jenny Sages is like a breath of fresh air. So good.

One of my top five podcasts! Gets me painting again!

This absorbing podcast pulls off the difficult feat of dealing with visual art in words. Maria asks exactly the right questions to keep it flowing, but gets the artists to do most of the talking. Generous length means thorough treatment, but it always feels packed with interest, never drags.

Wow 100 episodes. Feed the addiction.

I came across ‘Talking with Painters’ about two weeks ago and have been binge listening during lockdown in my studio. Wonderful stories. Great advice. Fabulous to here from Australian artists, young and old. Fabulous!
Coolcat103 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/22/20
This is such a great podcast. It’s insight into artists, their backgrounds how they work and think. A great listen particularly when I’m in the studio painting. Inspirational!
Mozza265 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/14/20
Love listening to all the different ways that artists overcome their challenges and make work, especially in the last few months. Thanks for all the insights:)
ArtChiSG via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/31/20
Not just a fabulously entertaining podcast, every episode is a valuable art lesson. I’m on my third round of listening to the entire series while I work in the studio. If I ever take out a major art prize I am going to have to credit Maria and all of her artists.
Lea Hawkins via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/23/20
I absolutely love listening to this podcast! I’m not a painter but just listening to the variety of methods, personalities, frailties... is so enlightening Thx Maria!
HWP- via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/18/20
Really enjoying listening, paint brush in hand. Informative, human, calm. (Maybe a tad too much prize talk for my taste.) Would love some interviews with the unfamous, the striving amateur. Really enjoyed Ian fairweather-related interviews and Ann Thomson. Love that it’s not all blokes. 💚
locopocosisters via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/16/20
I enjoy listening to the stories and hearing about the art practices of the curious minds you interview. It’s intriguing how and why series of works comes together... or why a painting doesn’t work that matter. When working alone in the studio it’s a nice way to feel connected. Thank you.
JujuRoche via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/28/20
What a fantastic podcast, great questions by Maria and Luke Scribberas answers were so generous and intelligent in his knowledge and experience of his art and art in general. His passion is contagious. Thankyou for sharing

Talking With Painters is filled with useful tips for aspiring artists. It’s also amusing, sincere and unpretentious. A fascinating insight into the lives of Australian painters, how they began, the barriers, struggles and triumphs. It’s a gift. Thanks Maria.

Maria’s conversations with artists are chock full of gems of wisdom.

There is nothing else like this. Informative, enquiring, insightful. Brilliant! Thanks so much to the wonderful Maria, her very human interviews and to the generosity of all the interviewed artists. Makes me feel I am in the company of these practising artists.
