In her first-ever podcast interview, Vanessa Baird, one of Norway's most pre-eminent artists, speaks to Danielle Radojcin about her life’s work. Taking inspiration from her daily routine at home with her family in Oslo, her drawings are at once darkly comic and profoundly relatable. Vanessa trained at the the Royal Academy in London under Quentin Blake, and is a winner of Norway’s most important art prize, the Lorck Schive Kunstpris. She also designed the Nobel Peace prize diploma. She speaks openly about her inspirations, overcoming challenges, and finding kinship through her work with Karl Ove Knausgaard.
