On this episode of On Your Left, Matt Clem sits down with Mississippi artist Robin Whitfield, whose life and work are rooted in the rivers, swamps, and forests of the South. Robin is more than a painter; she is a storyteller of the natural world, using watercolors and pigments foraged from plants and minerals to capture the rhythms and relationships of wild places.
From her Grenada studio to the creation of Friends of Chakchiuma Swamp, Robin’s passion bridges art, conservation, and community. She shares how the beauty of Mississippi’s landscapes inspires her work, why protecting natural spaces matters now more than ever, and how creativity can spark deeper connections to the environment we live in.
This conversation is a vibrant journey into the heart of art and nature, one that will leave you inspired to see your world differently.
