Naomi Jenkin Guest on Journaling With Nature Podcast

I recently had a wonderful conversation with the lovely Bethan Burton on her Journaling With Nature podcast. Bethan invited me to be a guest on the show, and we delved deep into all things art and nature. We chatted about everything from my earliest artistic memories, how my experiences of the ocean inspire my seascape paintings, what goes into capturing an animal’s personality in a pet portrait, and what art materials I’m currently experimenting with. Plus much more besides!

Here’s what Bethan had to say about the episode:

Using her experiences in the natural world as inspiration, Naomi creates detailed fine art with the aim of connecting people with wildlife. She is passionate about using art to help support wildlife conservation projects around the world.
