S2 Episode 2: From Biology Teacher to Full-Time Artist: Jenny Urquhart

In her own words Jenny Urquhart loves painting pretty pictures which fill her with joy... but Jenny's passion, work-ethic and love of life fills this conversation with joy too. From the beginning of her story in a tough state school with a love of nature, to now working at her kitchen table doing something she loves every day, it's hard not to be inspired by Jenny. But there's no fancy art schools or years of pondering Picasso in Jenny's story. When Jenny was a mum, in her thirties, she simply picked up her paintbrush and started to do what she loved. Then she was brave enough to show it in a place you will never guess. Jenny says 'don't waste time, do what you love.' But Jenny's story isn't just one about her painting pretty pictures, it's about grit, determination and having the courage to try.  This is a public episode.
