In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with wildlife artist and author Matt Patterson! Matt is a wildlife illustrator and artist that specializes in turtles and other wildlife. He’s illustrated five books, including three with author Sy Montgomery, The Book of Turtles, Of Time and Turtles, and The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle. In this episode, we’ll talk about everything from Matt’s adventures working with conservation organizations, the research that goes into his paintings, and the real-life turtles that inspire Matt’s work! We even talk a bit about the biggest threats to turtles and other creatures, and how you can help. If you want to check out Matt’s work, you can find him online at www.mpattersonart.com and on Instagram and Facebook (@StoneRidgeArtStudios) at www.instagram.com/stoneridgeartstudios and www.facebook.com/stoneridgeartstudios. Listen to this episode wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com.
