Artist Interview: Annette Vincent

For this special SALA podcast episode, Elise from Inspiring South Australia talks to scientist and artist Annette Vincent in her studio garage.

Annette talks about her background in science as a myrmecologist (someone who studies ants) and the path that led her to being an artist, and the work that inspired her 2025 SALA exhibition '15 Years On, Arkaroola Wildlife Sanctuary Revisited'.

She explains how she is driven by the threat of climate change to actively sketch during biodiversity surveys in her role as a volunteer with the Scientific Expedition Group, contributing to a visual history of changing landscapes.
