Australian Women Artists
Australian women artists have been (and continue to be) underrepresented and undervalued in this country despite the stunning artistic works that have been produced since the mid nineteenth century.
This podcast will shine a light on those artists and their spectacular art works. I'll be talking to the artists themselves, both established and emerging, as well as experts on Australian women artists in history.

Ep 48 Kaylene Whiskey
(A conversation with Professor Dr Natalie King OAM)
I’m excited to bring this episode to you. I'm talking to Professor Dr Natalie King OAM and we are discussing the incredible unique work of indigenous artist Kaylene Whiskey.
Natalie King is an Australian curator, writer, editor and Professor of Visual Arts, Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. She has curated three national pavilions at the Venice Biennale (including the Australian Pavilion 2017, the Aotearoa New Zealand Pavilion 2022 and the inaugural Timor-Leste Pavilion 2024). She has contributed to many leading international art publications and serves as President of Australia (International Association of Art Critics, Paris). Her most recent publication is The Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do you believe in Love? A monograph edited by Natalie and the team at Iwantja Arts. It's the first major monograph of Kaylene's work.
Kaylene Whiskey is a Yankunytjatjara artist born in Indulkana, South Australia, and is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Australian art.
Living and working in the APY Lands, Kaylene creates paintings that combine the vivid visual language of desert art with the glitter and glamour of global pop culture.
Her works are filled with famous and iconic women who coexist with Anangu women in scenes of daily life, dance, and laughter. Through this vibrant and unexpected fusion, Kaylene Whiskey redefines what contemporary Indigenous art can be.
