Life After Art School: Jacob O’Shannassy & Jeremy Hemming on Creative Practice, Vulnerability & Collaboration
In this episode, I speak with emerging artists Jacob O’Shannassy and Jeremy Hemming about their transition from art school into independent practice. We explore what art school gave them — and what it couldn’t — as they navigate creative life beyond the studio walls of formal education.
Together, they reflect on the importance of vulnerability, belonging, and collaboration for both artistic growth and personal wellbeing. This conversation touches on the emotional and practical realities of building a creative life after graduation.
Themes: life after art school, emerging artists, creative collaboration, vulnerability in art, regional practice, artist wellbeing, studio culture
🎙️ Connect Curate Create is a podcast about creative courage, community, and place-based storytelling in regional Australia.
Many thanks to Jeremy and Jacob for sharing their story with us.
