Welcome to the Foreign to Me podcast, today we chat with Marion Belliot from Brittany, about her art inspired by landscapes of Ireland. You can find her work on different mediums from digital to wood at various markets around Dublin and Kildare and on her Instagram and Etsy accounts https://www.instagram.com/explorewithmarion/ and https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/Explorewithmarion.

Lisa met Marion recently at the Blackrock Market where she bought Maria a beautiful print of the Donegal coast, and it all led to a lovely evening chat about art, creativity, travel and the human connection found at markets.

We hope you enjoy it and find inspiration for Christmas and other special occasions.
