Allison Zurfluh: Art and Conservation in the Venetian Lagoon

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world” - Anne Frank

Welcome to podcast #46 and my conversation with Allison Zurfluh.

Allison is a woman of many layers, a Translator of Classical Music, an Author, Travel Consultant, Painter and at heart an Artist.   Allison has lived all around the world, yet found her true home on the Venetian Lagoon on the island of Burano near Venice in northern Italy. 

In the past few years her life has had its share of trials and tribulations, yet it was the rediscovery of art, and painting the lagoon using watercolours and oil paints on linen canvas that woke her spirit to life again. 

Through her painting and evocative prose Allison's voice translates her love and care for the natural world and the concern she has for the conservation of the Venetian Lagoon for now and for the future.   

Allison's art work will be on exhibit "Let Wild Run Free" in March until August in Venice so be sure to visit if you are in Italy over the coming months.
