Hi, everyone, it's Katie here.
You're about to hear a bonus episode interview with the artist Audrey Flack, who we spoke to at the very beginning of this series.
In episode one, we had such fun recording with her.
Audrey is a life force.
But sadly, a few months after we launched Death of an Artist, Audrey's studio manager contacted me to tell me that she had passed away at the age of 93 in Southampton, New York.
Audrey lived an incredible life, and I feel so lucky to have spent time with her and honored that.
I can share some of her memories from the art scene with you today.
Okay, so, Audrey, please can you introduce yourself, who you are and what do you do?
Oh, I don't want to do that.
You should do that.
Okay, let's leave that.
You know, you should say, here's Audrey Flack, and she's blah, blah, blah, and she's an ancient person.
This is Audrey Flack, and this bonus episode is a conversation we had when my producer, Clem Hitchcock and I went to visit her in New York.
