Here, Anne-Louise talks about why Nora’s paintings of WWII are some of the most significant in Australian art history, how contentious her Archibald win was, and the enduring but competitive relationship she had with her landscape-painter father Hans Heysen. Anne-Louise is also a creative writing teacher at the University of Western Australia and Holden has made sure to get her writing advice for all our new and emerging writers.
