In this episode, Tabitha Rickard dives into the world of Emily Never, a self-described modern medieval artist whose creative path began in Darwin with an unexpected spark from a Faber-Castell box. Emily shares her unconventional approach to landing a job at Kryal Castle - a pivotal moment that led to meeting her future spouse - and how she discovered her passion for ink, a medium that truly resonates with her.
After moving to Ballarat, Emily found her artistic community through the Ballarat Arts Foundation, where she’s thrived as both mentee and mentor in the annual mentoring program. We explore the challenges of imposter syndrome, a common hurdle for many creatives, and hear about Emily’s transformative residency in France at the start of 2025, where she connected with artists from around the globe.
