Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Tabitha sits down with Ballarat-based visual artist Kirrily Urquhart, whose eye for texture, colour, and pattern transforms everyday details into captivating artworks, sometimes in the most unusual of places. From a childhood road trip through Bathurst to projection art at White Night, Kirrily shares how her creative journey was shaped by a love of closeups and a timely BAF grant that helped launch her into the Ballarat Foto Biennale. Tabitha and Kirrily dive into the realities of balancing art and income, the power of mentorship, and the ongoing battle with imposter syndrome. Kirrily reflects on the importance of understanding the business side of art and the confidence that comes from being supported by a thriving local arts scene. If you've ever wondered how a coffee cup design can lead to a career in projection art - or how a grant can change everything - this one’s for you. Never discount the joy that art brings.You can find Kirrily on socials under Kokoroexpressions
