Wo(men) Mind the Water Podcast
Exploring the connection between women and water through storytelling
Listen to Our Latest Episodes.
When we want to communicate, we use art.
Our Artivist Series brings you conversations with creators from around the world whose work is shaped by the ocean—and who, in turn, use their creativity to protect it. Each episode explores an artist’s connection to water, the stories behind their practice, and the ways art can spark action for a healthier, more resilient planet.
We’re closing in on our 100th episode and have featured artivists working across every medium imaginable.
Stay tuned as we approach this milestone 100th episode—there’s so much more to come.

Artivist Series - Danielle Burnside
Art is an extension of her soul. It’s a way to express her passion and embodies her commitment to preserving our planet. Her hope is that her artwork conveys a sense of swimming in the sea and leads to a connection to the powerful forces within the sea and within each of us. On the Women Mind the Water Artivist Series podcast we explore her sea shell series, images of marine animals she paints inside real sea shells. The work is both unusual and engaging.
