Animal Artist Naomi Joy on Vegan Paintings, Conservation, and Making a Living as a Creative

For this interview, I interviewed animal artist Naomi Joy on what it means to make vegan paintings, art about conservation, and how to make a living as a creative. Throught the interview, we talked about how she thinks about her work, arts entrepreneurship, and why it's important for the vegan movement to support vegan artists.
About Naomi: Naomi Joy is an animal Artist based within the centre of the creative city of Bristol in England. She creates paintings and sculptures at home in her cosy studio that also full of any wildlife she is rehabilitating such as injured bats. She is inspired by the animals she works with and fights for as an animal activist, the themes of her work often revolve around the animal agriculture industry, the badger cull and fox hunting. Her work often highlights the beauty and personality of the animals and her goal is to change others perspectives to see a someone rather than a product or pest.

Sorry about the audio! I tried my best but it’s still fairly difficult to hear Naomi. I decided that I’m going to wait until I can get funding to pay for equipment rentals before making more episodes for the vegan artist interview series.
If you’re really struggling to hear her, I recommend headphones.

Nice! A vegan, atheist, liberal, SJW artist who is probably from a democrat run city who has a liberal arts degree (or an art degree) talking to another socially-conscious artist with blue hair. Yes, you both fit the stereotypical, brilliant, compassionate, outspoken characteristics of vegans. Can't wait to see more of this content :)
