There are multiple ways to engage people with the ocean... and art is one of them.  In this episode, meet Debby Mason. Debby a is printmaker for over 25 years, specialising in etchings and mezzotints. She mainly draws fish, or marine creatures. She spends hours, observing them, and trying to mimic patterns, textures, colours and shapes; transcribing their characters and personalities.   There are different ways to look at marine life. You can look at marine organisms, through the eyes of a biologist, to understand how things are and how they work. But Debby invites us to look at marine life with a new look, the ones of an artist, in awe when facing the plethora of colours, shapes and behaviours these organisms show.  In this conversation with Debby, I felt like I was in my childhood again. It warmed my heart to listen to Debby talking about marine organisms. The way she tells us about her encounters with marine life, how she describes what they look like or how they act underwater ... it is like listening to a tale about the underwater world.  Listen to this episode to hear about Debby's work, her inspirations, how we can use art to raise awareness about the underwater world and the threats it is facing, and much more...  Thanks for listening! 🎨🖌️🐠👩🏻‍🎨🌏 More about Debby's work:  Website: https://www.debbymason.com  You can find me here: Instagram: @plymouthbeneaththesurface Twitter: @twosealions.
