Lisa Wilkes Hunter was nothing but pleasure to speak with and interview. She gave 100% and offered a lot of supporting information which appealed to me, particularly about her grandfather who wrote 'pulp fiction' novels which she then went back home to collect just to show me. 
Her own work is striking and quite original, she really seems to have a photographers eye when it comes to painting as well as capturing the spirit of the subject. 
Her egg paintings are quite amazing and up close filled with detail.

The interview went well despite our technical issues (one camera failure and sound issue) Lisa was open honest and shared her feelings about the Corona virus fearlessly. I guess you can make your own mind up, but all in all, it is a good start. I was particularly impressed with Amalia's comment which suggested how Artists seem to a strive to return to the innocence they had when they were young. Very insightful.
On a personal note I was struck by our conversation on the Wakehurst Parkway bushlands where Lisa informed me about people experiencing 'strange' visitations while driving through.

I'm not sure what kind of sequence we will put our interviews in, the idea at the moment is to collect content, then using the footage  we can build a format and post at least one a week.
