The universe of art

I absolutely love this podcast! I’m a painter obsessed with sciences, the natural world is my inspiration and the foundation of my art, and I devote half my week to funding environmental projects that maintain and increase biodiversity. Thank you!! I’m so delighted with my Butt Train ticket to Science Town.
