Fiona's advise for getting PR is to write articles and pitch ideas and to give it a go you can see the press that she has on her website.

So jump onto instagram to snaffle a Fiona Chandler artwork at 9am every Thursday but be quick as they sell fast.

Fiona answered our new questions via email on Favourite art tool and why ? A big fluffy non branded brush I have lived with forever. I had to buy tweezers just so I could pull the hair off the painting that it leaves behind. Throw it out. Never.

Live or dead artist you would love to have a tour of their studio? How to choose? I am thinking all things close to home at the moment. I would love to see Julian Meagher's space and process.

If you could go anywhere in the world right now where would it be and why?
Katherine Gorge - I have always wanted to paint and camp out there. The landscape looks incredible. A long car ride there is very appealing also. 

We finished the episode with a Whats occurring? This segment discusses what we have been watching listening to and keeping us amused whilst in Covid -19 lockdown.
