Fall in love with the deep blue: Viola Madau, Freelance Animator and Visual Artist

In today's episode, I'm chatting with Viola Madau, a wonderfully creative human and Visual Artist with a childlike fascination for Scottish seas. For this episode, I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Viola in person. Venturing to a quiet outdoor spot not far from Arran's hidden nature library, the misty skies and gentle rain were the perfect backdrop to this cosy conversation. Viola brings so much joy in the way she talks about the ocean. With a little bit of curiosity and childlike awe for the natural world, Viola encourages each of us to tap into our hidden creativity.
