Ren is an artist from Canberra, who aspires to pursue her craft and make it her career. Canberra isn’t the best or most supportive place to be for aspiring artists who wish to branch out from the stereotypical Canberra art scene. Ren enjoys surrealist art, which is a far stretch from birds and nature—the synthesis of the Canberra art scene. In this episode Ren and the hosts (Maddy and Naomi) discuss the advantages and disadvantages of being an artist in the ACT.
