We're over the moon to welcome artist Nina Brooke to the show today! Nina is an artist whose work we've admired for a long time — indeed Ella owns one of her beautiful beach prints — and we were thrilled when Nina agreed to come onto the show to discuss her career journey, advice for fellow artists, as well as tips for exploring her home area of Cornwall.

Nina's outlook on life and work is so calming, we hope that you'll love getting to know Nina as much as we did.
