Fish Nerds - Conservation Artist Karen Talbot

Published: Oct. 19, 2015, 5:30 a.m.

Clay and his family travel to Rockland, Maine to visit with Conservation Artist Karen Talbot and sip beer from her new Angler's Pint glasses. Karen Talbot is an award-winning artist known primarily for her lifelike, fine art paintings and scientific illustrations of fishes, but she also does birds and botanicals (who cares). Splitting her time between the rocky coast and brook trout streams of midcoast Maine and the mountains of western Wyoming, Karen takes her inspiration from oceans, streams, canyons, and mountains where she regularly dives, fishes and climbs. Clay interviews Karen and her husband about what it takes to paint fish for a living and he delivers a classic Fish Nerd quiz.
