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 ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-mfa-podcast-1241271/episodes/the-magic-of-kelp-with-artist-marie-mckenzie/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mfa-podcast-1241271/the-magic-of-kelp-with-artist-marie-mckenzie.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
