Summary
In this special Earth Day episode, host Marina Press Granger speaks with artist Marie McKenzie about her powerful connection to kelp —one of the planet's most vital (and overlooked) ecosystems. What began as a fascination with kelp's environmental role led Marie to face a deep fear of the ocean. Through learning to freedive, she now paints mesmerizing underwater vistas of kelp forest canopies as seen from beneath the surface. This episode is a tribute to the healing power of nature, the courage to dive deep (literally), and the role art can play in honoring the Earth. 🌿 Learn more about Marie: MarieMcKenzie.com 🌊 Follow her on Instagram: @MarieMcKenzieArt To learn more about The Artist Academy, visit JoinTheArtistAcademy.com
