 Talking with Painters 

Interview with John Wolseley, as he discussed how he collaborates with nature to produce his work.     

 Art Guide Australia 
Wolseley talks about how he came of age when England was coming out of World War II, and his experience of growing up on a farm and later attending boarding school. The artist also talks about studying under prestigious artists, what it takes for a landscape to capture his attention, and how he balances an environmental awareness in his work without being didactic. 

 

 ABC Radio National
