In this episode I talk with Marjan, a Dutch sculptor who has been in the UK for more than four decades. Arrived in Liverpool for the first time in 1978, for a summer voluntary work opportunity, she returned in 1979 for what she thought was going to be a gap year. However, she remained in the UK and eventually set her roots in Darwen. An established artist in the local, national and international scene, her attachment to Lancashire can be appreciated through her art, often inspired by the local landscape and culture. She is also an active citizen aspiring to make a difference through her involvement in the local community of Darwen. In this episode you will have a chance to know more about Lancashire landscape and society through the eyes of an artist and active citizen.
