From amateur to artist

‘From Amateur to Artist’ is a documentary web series about the lives and work of five young female artists in the Canberra community. The series aims to feature a diverse range of artists, both in the sense of artistic styles and backgrounds. It consists of five 4-6 minute episodes each featuring a different artist. Each episode contains an interview with the artist accompanied by footage of their daily life and a performance/exhibition out in the Canberra community wherever they share their art.
