Episode 27: Interview with the vegan artist Lynda Bell

For Episode 27 of Always for Animal Rights, I am pleased to present my interview with Lynda Bell, a full-time artist and vegan living in New Zealand. Lynda’s colourful paintings and illustrations depict a vegan world in which all animals, human and nonhuman, live together in peace.

In this interview, Lynda tells me about what inspires her as an artist, how she incorporates animal rights activism into her art, how she found out about vegan art supplies, and how people have responded to her artwork. She also discusses the meanings of specific paintings that she has made, including Forest Picnic, Happily Ever After, Sleeping Blissful, and The Protector.

As we know, art has the power to change hearts and minds. It can help people “make the connection” and decide to go vegan, and it can inspire vegans to take action to create a better world.

I love this interview! You can find Lynda’s artwork on her website at https://artbylyndabell.com. She is also on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
