Jacqueline Wild aka Glitter and Earth, creates whimsical illustrations inspired by the Cornish landscape and coastline. She lives in a 120 year old granite miners cottage close to Land’s End where tales of mermaids, witches and pirates fuel her imagination.
Born in Greenwich, London, her holidays to Cornwall created memories of dancing along the shoreline and swimming in rockpools, which acted as a constant reminder to return.
After gaining a degree in English at Worcester, Jacqueline and her husband- to-be packed all their belongings into a VW camper and made their way to Newquay to live a more holistic lifestyle and learn to surf.
Jacqueline pursued a career as a freelance writer for many years but it wasn’t until the birth of her daughter that she really embraced her calling as an illustrator. Working on her iPad while her daughter slept enabled her to hone her skills and start to pave the way to a full time career as an artist.

My guest today is Coco Oya Cienna-Rey, author of Digging for Mother’s Bones launching this week from Womancraft Publishing. Coco is a UK based mother, grandmother, creative, mystic, soul guide and writer.

Kat Shaw is a visual artist based in the UK who is known for her vibrant celebratory paintings of real, juicy naked female bodies.
Over the last 7 years, Kat has painted over 3000 glorious women into Goddesses, held many successful exhibitions and live shows, run enriching workshops and paints not only onto canvases, but also directly onto women’s bodies!
As an activist artist, Kat prides herself on dismantling the patriarchy, breaking society’s stereotypical views of beauty and challenging every negative paradigm that women have been drip fed since birth, instead, encouraging them to step into unapologetic empowerment.
Having made her name painting the glorious nude reality that is a woman’s body, self-worth, self-love and self-belief are at the centre of her art, rather than airbrushing, filtering, photoshopping and the “only one size fits all” approach to beauty.
Glorifying every single body shape, Kat challenges the images of perfection of the female form that are so rife in today’s culture.
Heads up this is a fabulously sweary episode with lots of talk about women’s bodies and nakedness.

How making art was a bridge to loving her body
Celebrating and glorifying real women’s bodies
