In today's episode, I'm chatting with Raine Clarke, Visual Artist on the Isle of Arran. Endlessly inspired by the wonder of the world that surrounds her, Raine has long noticed beauty in the shells and feathers that dotted her childhood. Recorded in the creative sanctuary of her studio in Whiting Bay, in this episode we explore water's flowing effect on our wellbeing, stories of the sea brought alive through science and art, and the ocean treasures that forever find her returning to the shore.

Something Old: A school trip to the mysterious Bass Rock from North Berwick, the first experience of being out at sea

Something New: Art and science coming together to imagine a better world, to help us emotionally engage and find passion for the sea

Something Borrowed: 'Looking Down at the Stars: Life Beneath the Waves' by Christina Riley, 'On Sonorous Seas' by Mhairi Killin

Something Blue: An early morning dook on my doorstep. At home on Arran, overlooked by Holy Isle and beautiful seabed in Lamlash Bay

If you enjoyed the episode and are able to share with a friend or leave a review, I'd be super grateful.

The hope with this podcast is to bring a tiny dose of blue wherever in the world you're listening...to remind ourselves as a global community of ocean lovers that there is hope for the future of our waterways.

Sending you all the ocean love,

Lily xx
