Crossword Genius

Painter in Hobart is Tasmanian (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artist

'painter' is the definition.
(painter is an example)

'in hobart is tasmanian' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARTIST' is hidden within 'hobart is tasmanian'.

(Other definitions for artist that I've seen before include "One skilled in creative works" , "Model employer, perhaps" , "Skilled person" , "Creator of aesthetic works" , "Expert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
