My best friend and podcast inspirator, my beagle mix Bilbo, almost died of an undetected tumour. He was saved at the last moment with an emergency operation. I had and still have vet bills that far exceed my last nest egg. The operation alone costs over E 1000 (without tests, aftertreatments). Every Euro helps me to pay off the vet clinic! All payments incl. commission sales will contribute to this goal). Photos of Bilbo in my gallery! And you can listen to him sniffing in my podcast episodes.
I am Petra van Cronenburg, a journalist, paper artist and nature lover. Loving nature is the thread connecting these interests: my podcast NatureMatchCuts, my art (for sale and workshops), and writing and telling stories. Beagle mix Bilbo is my best teacher for reconnecting with nature. You support this work and the vet bills for my 10 yrs old dog. Listen to NatureMatchCuts, the podcast from the intersections of science and nature writing, cultural knowledge and art directly broadcasting from a French national park. NatureMatchCuts is a podcast exploring marvels of biodiversity and fascinating cultural heritage. Get the awe through an inspiring change of perspective as flora, fauna, and landscapes become actors and storytellers. And join me to see how art can be inspired by nature and even become a statement, from visible mending to art journals and paper art.
