The inimitable Annabel Crabb joins us for this special spotlight episode where we shine a light on the changing impact of journalism in a shifting media landscape. In a world where truth is increasingly contested, can the fourth estate still be trusted to deliver reliable information which brings us together into some sort of shared reality? Or has our trust in journalism been irrevocably broken by the ‘democratisation' of information - the relentless immediacy of self-selecting delivery platforms - as well as the unabating attacks of all political sides, who too often claim that it's just a front for power or an opinion, or even worse, a home for misinformation. How can we rebuild trust in the news, recognising its limitations while understanding its critical role in a well-functioning society?As to disagree productively, we need a shared reality as our foundation.Annabel CrabbAnnabel Crabb is an Australian political journalist, commentator and television host who is the ABC's chief online political writer.

In a new exhibition Wendy breaks conventions, painting on walls and installing herself in the gallery, becoming part of the art. Wendy Sharpe is an multi-award winning Australian artist working on a new exhibition Spellbound for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. In this exhibition she breaks all the rules, by painting directly onto walls, hanging works upside down or touching and installing not only her studio in this museum, but also herself, as she paints a mural directly on the wall in front of the public. Regina Botros joins her as she works towards this immersive, labyrinth-like exhibition, where the lines between art and artist are blurred.

As excitement builds for the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup we look back of one of most successful football players here in Aotearoa. Wendy Sharpe debuted with the Football Ferns in 1980 when she was just 16 years old.

Wendy Sharpe needs no introduction, but here's one anyway!!'Wendy Sharpe is one of Australia's most acclaimed artists, she lives and works in Sydney and Paris. She has been awarded The Sulman Prize, two Travelling Scholarships, The Portia Geach Memorial Award (twice), The Archibald Prize, and many others. She has been a finalist in The Sulman Prize thirteen times, and The Archibald Prize eight times. She has held over 65 solo exhibitions around Australia and internationally.'We talked to Wendy in her fantastic studio in Sydney, surrounded by all her paintings and drawings. Our conversation was so interesting, covering Wendy's career, her upcoming book with author Kate Forsyth , how to find your own voice in your artwork, and much more....Thanks so much, Wendy, we loved meeting you!

An edited version of this episode is also a video which you can see here: When I started this podcast in July 2016 with no knowledge of audio recording - let alone how to start a podcast - I never imagined that four years later I would have interviewed close to a hundred painters, as well as curators and authors, and have a YouTube channel with over 100 videos filmed on my iPhone. Building up this podcast would not have been possible, though, without the encouragement of those close to me and the time and generosity of my guests as well as many others' support in the wonderful Australian arts community. It has also been a privilege to get to know so many of you listeners either through messages, comments on social media or meeting you in person. Even if we haven't had any contact, you are the reason I keep doing the show so thank you for listening. I couldn't think of a better place to celebrate the centenary episode than the Art Gallery of NSW where about a quarter of my podcast guests are finalists in the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes. So I'd like to say a big thankyou to the Art Gallery of NSW who allowed me in with my selfie stick to film and speak in front of these works.  You can listen to this episode as an audio guide if you are at the gallery (scroll down for a map of where the works are), watch the edited version as a video here or just listen as an audio episode - all the works are reproduced below.

Caro and Corrie are enjoying a well earned break this week so enjoy some of our favourite guests from past episodes.  Writer Jock Serong joined us for Episode 63 – ‘He Appears To Be In It For Nothing But Kicks’. Jock leads us on an expedition into the wilds of his novel Preservation – a dark tale of survival and horror set in the colonial Australia of 1797. Jane Caro joined us in Ep 73 to discuss her book Accidental Feminists In Ep 61 'The M Word' Annabel Crabb joined  Caro and Corrie and shared a recipe from her and Wendy Sharpe’s book Special Guest; Recipes for the happily imperfect host - available at My Bookshop HERE.    For Annabel's Sticky Gingerbread Cake (see recipe below). Thanks to our show sponsor VitalSmarts. Let’s face it, we’ve all been in a situation where our emotions have controlled the conversation. We say something we don’t truly mean or what we do say lands badly. By learning real speak up skills you will be able control the tough conversations and have them go well.

Grease and line a 30cm x 20cm slice (tray bake) tin. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl with the cinnamon, allspice and baking powder. In a large heavy-based saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, treacle and golden syrup with the grated and ground ginger. When everything is incorporated, remove from the heat and whisk in the bicarb soda – it will fizz up, which will be fun for moment. Whisk in the eggs, milk and pumpkin puree until smooth. Now add the contents of the pan to the bowl and mix well. It will be a very liquid batter, but don’t despair: all will be well. Pour into the tin and place into the oven. After about 25 minutes it will be done. Keep an eye on it – the gingerbread should be sticky, so don’t wait until it’s completely risen and cracked. Insert a skewer in the centre and it should come out clean. Scout’s honour, this cake is nicer just as it is. What’s more, it keeps well in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container.

Nicholas Harding is one of Australia's most celebrated artists. He has been awarded the Archibald prize, the Archibald People's Choice award, the Kilgour prize and the Dobell drawing prize amongst others. His work crosses portraiture, landscape and still life. Harding's oil paintings are created with a glorious impasto technique, he uses gouache to capture the lifesize portraits of many a famous sitter and he is renowned for his magnificent ink drawings. He has had over 30 (often sell-out) solo shows, major survey shows of his work have been held at the S H Ervin Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery and his work is in the collections of many public institutions including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, and in private and corporate collections around the world. One of the major impacts on his work was coming to Australia after spending the first 8 years of his life in England and, in particular, his observation of the different light and how its glare created contrasts which were so different to the muted tones of England.  It was his time in the bush and the beaches as a child which caused him later to move further from the English influence to make Australia the subject of his work. In this episode we talk about his influences, painting from memory, the strengths and weaknesses of using photographic references, failing in order to succeed, making art during the dark times and much more.

Share an afternoon tea with a difference as Lish Fejer chats with Annabel Crabb about her new book Special Guest. Co-written with Wendy Sharpe, this is a cookbook for anyone who loves hosting guests at home. The fraternal twin of Special Delivery - a cookbook for anyone who ever felt like punching a wall before their guests arrive. If you are someone who prepares for guests by sweeping bills, laundry and newspapers behind sofa cushions, take heart! It's possible to be an imperfect host, but happily so. The essential ingredient is not, paradoxically, the food, nor the perfect house to host in, but the sentiment you convey when you open the door. Do your eyes say: 'I like you and I enjoy your company,' or does a weepy cloud of visceral horror descend as pine nuts burn quietly in the kitchen? Special Guest is a gentle guide to turning easy basic fare into something of a celebration. For when you want to say to your friends with their spouses and ten small children, 'Why don't you stay for lunch?' without hating yourself afterwards. Learn the lesson of 'one splendid thing done well' without regard to the hundred other things, and call the day a success. Pick up some pointers for the modern conundrum that is cooking for people with seemingly incompatible dietary requirements. Hosting your friends is not about showing off; it is about delighting others. Your dining table might be decorated with a pile of unmatched socks and kids' homework, but that's no reason not to invite friends in for a chat, a sit-down and something delicious to eat. Annabel Crabb is one of Australia's best-loved TV and media personalities and a joyfully imperfect host. Wendy Sharpe is Annabel's oldest friend, a recipe consultant on Kitchen Cabinet and co-conspirator in mad-capped cookery projects. In association with Murdoch Books Image: Annabel Crabb.

This week Caro and Corrie are joined by the wonderful Annabel Crabb whose new cookbook ‘Special Guest’ is in stores now. But there’s so much more to talk about than that!   Caro reports back after her Andrew Olle lecture (watch her full speech HERE), we analyse Malcolm Turnbull’s recent ‘Q & A’ appearance (watch highlights HERE) and Annabel delivers Prime Minister Scott Morrison an early report card.   Annabel's 'Crush of the Week' is ABC journalist Ashleigh Raper who has alleged she was sexually harassed by New South Wales opposition leader Luke Foley. Our 'Crush of the Week', as always, is supported by The Interchange Bench.   If your business needs new players, pick them up from The Interchange Bench – the leading provider of temporary and contract talent. See Interchange bench.com.au   Corrie’s grumpy about Donald Trump (again!) and Caro has a ‘Chat 10 Looks 3’ inspired Good Local Tip for the bakers out there.   In “BSF” we (of course) delve into Annabel and Wendy Sharpe’s “Special Guest; Recipes for the happily imperfect host’  - available at My Bookshop HERE.    Annabel shares her recipe for Sticky Gingerbread Cake that uses up any leftover Halloween pumpkins and is very much worthy of the ‘M’ word (see recipe below).   Caro’s been off to the movies to see ‘A Star Is Born’ and loved it too.     Thanks to everyone who snapped up tickets to our live podcast lunch event at The Flying Duck on November 28th, we’re happy (and sad) to announce we’ve SOLD OUT the event, raising funds for BCNA. We're looking forward to seeing everyone there and thanks to our show sponsors The Interchange Bench for making the event possible.

Tuesday 1 May 2018 - Melinda Martin, Matthew Sleeth, Wendy Sharpe and Tanja Johnston Australian war artists as historians, documenters and first hand witnesses must confront their own experience of the tragedies of war. In partnership with Linden New Art Gallery, join us for a special conversation with two contemporary Australian war artists about their experience in war-torn countries.

Wendy Sharpe is one of Australia’s most acclaimed and significant painters. She won the Art Gallery of NSW’s Sulman prize in 1986 and has been powering through the art world ever since. She went on to win Australia’s most well-known art award, the Archibald prize, she’s won the Portia Geach - twice - and many other awards. She’s reportedly been finalist more times than any other artist in the Sulman prize and this year is no exception with her brilliant work 'Erskineville train station'. Sharpe has had 57 solo shows, has received many major commissions which include Australian Official War Artist to East Timor, the first woman to do so since World War II. Her work is bold, energetic, vibrant – spanning from a suburban street, to a circus tent, taking in scenes from around the world from China to Egypt, and even Antarctica. We weren’t able to cover everything she’s done in her career but in this episode you’ll hear us talk about women in the arts, including the dreaded term ‘woman painter’, the real and the imagined and lots of insights into the wonderful process of painting. We met in her huge studio in St Peters in Sydney an absolute Aladdin's cave of materials, art books, posters, sketchbooks, and mountains of painting rags. She was engaging, interesting and generous with her knowledge of painting and I really enjoyed meeting her. To hear the podcast interview press 'play' below the feature photo above. Two videos of Sharpe in her studio and talking about the exhibition 'Salient Western Front'  on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel can be seen below.

See the Talking with Painters YouTube video below In 2017 a group of twelve Australian artists travelled to Belgium and France to the first World War battlefields of the western front. They created work en plein air, in their hotel rooms and in their studios, documenting their impressions of what they saw and experienced. This powerful exhibition has just started its tour around Australia at New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) in Armidale, NSW. In this episode you’ll hear from artists Wendy Sharpe,  Amanda Penrose Hart and Euan Macleod as well as historian historian Brad Manera, who had previously travelled with many of the artists to Gallipoli. I also interviewed them on camera and made a short video about this exhibition which you can see here. For details of where the exhibition is showing go to www.salientwesternfront.com.

Wendy Sharpe is a well-known international artist from Australia who travels the world. She’s won numerous awards for her paintings and drawings. On the podcast she talks about her life growing up and her creative process as a professional visual artist. The post 011: Artist Wendy Sharpe – Be Daring, Go for it! appeared first on Aesha Kennedy | Mindful Creative Living for Soulful Women.

The average pedestrian would never know that behind the dusty street corners, nostalgic terraces and anti-Westconnex signs of one quiet street in St Peters, Sydney, lies award-winning artist Wendy Sharpe’s studio. A simple note pinned to the door of her warehouse says, "Wendy Sharpe? Please ring lower bell." Those brave enough to ring enter a fantastic realm filled with gilt chandeliers, paintings, piles of clothes, scribbles, swatches, and an enormous table where Sharpe herself sits painting. Over a 35 year career, Sharpe has quietly developed a reputation for paintings and drawings filled with bold brushstrokes, vibrant colours and strong female characters. In 1986, she won the Sulman Prize: an eclectic award for subject and genre paintings. Ten years later, she took out its more famous sister prize, the Archibald, with Self Portrait as Diana of Erskineville, 1996. She’s been a war artist, a teacher and a humanitarian portrait-maker, creating works from a vast array of materials, hundreds of thousands of marks telling her unique stories. And beneath those marks, 2 layers or 10 layers deep: countless mistakes.

Annabel Crabb once put a laptop in the oven and it wasn't even the worst thing she's ever cooked. Rare culinary slip-ups aside, the host of Kitchen Cabinet is brilliant at mastering recipes (she's just released an excellent cookbook, after all). And her food-transporting game is pretty strong, too – for her ABC TV show, she once carried a honey fig semifreddo cake to Senator Nick Xenophon's place, with zero melting tragedies. Getting serving implements through airport security is another matter, though. “You try and take a cake fork anywhere – you're in massive trouble,” she says. Despite this obstacle, it's impressive what Annabel is able to achieve on her cooking show, despite not having a traditional studio kitchen set-up. She's so savvy that she once managed to make ice cream in a hotel room. Taking dessert to someone – the premise of her show – can act as a great Trojan horse for getting into sought-after places (such as Joe Hockey's “notorious” share house, where former opposition leader Brendan Nelson lived in a shed for $80 a week; “it's the funniest, weirdest story,” she says). Food to make and take is the focus of her great new cookbook, Special Delivery (Murdoch Books), which she's co-written with her Kitchen Cabinet recipe consultant and life-long friend, Wendy Sharpe. Food offerings can be a not-so-secret code, a direct message that conveys a lot – as Annabel explains in the book, sometimes it can mean ‘Congratulations' or ‘I come in peace' (to politicians) or ‘Lord, this meeting might be grim – let's have some cake while we're at it'. In the podcast, she says: “Often when you're in situations where you can't think of anything else to say to somebody – like when maybe they've had a death in the family or they're very sad about something and you've run out of the constructive things to say – sometimes you take something that shows, in a wordless way, that you're thinking about them.” It can also be fun, too. And her cookbook includes a recipe for a soufflé you can travel with and advice on how to present haloumi without the ‘am I eating a cold thong?' feeling. During this podcast, Annabel also covers the extreme lengths she endured in making a relevant dessert for Motoring Enthusiast Party Senator Ricky Muir for this season of “Kitchen Cabinet” (donuts, as it turned out, were impossible to pull off). She also shares a funny behind-the-scenes revelation about serving Clive Palmer a cake that would have been served on the Titanic. It was delightful to chat to Annabel – and I love that a Canberra journalist who landed a “accidental second career as the host of a political cooking show” would end up being the person who talks most extensively about food out of everyone I've interviewed on this podcast.
