Podcast# 123 Mary Collis and Michelle McCune Two artists entwined through their love of Kenya and Santa Cruz

What happens when two artists are shaped by Africa—and connected by a coastal town in California? On this episode of Go Ahead and Tell ME!, host Susan Douglas brings together Mary Collis, a Kenyan abstract painter and child of Africa, and Michelle McClune, a Santa Cruz local whose journey from veterinary science to wildlife art was deeply shaped by Kenya. They talk about art as expression and advocacy, conservation and community, finding your voice at any stage of life, and the lasting impact of Africa. One was born into Africa. One found Africa and was forever changed. Both tell their  story through art.
