Lucy loves her homeland, magic, stone circles, fairies art, music festivals and her grey cat, Sabby.
When she's not painting or podcasting, Lucy likes to visit stone circles, ruined castles and graveyards for some spooky fun! You can check out her Etsy Shop for gorgeous journals, prints and orginials HERE.

About Karen Campbell
Like Lucy, Karen is also a full time artist and author of many art books in both drawing and mixed media. She's also the owner of Awesome Art School and teaches art to adults of all ages.
Karen is a Boston area native who fell in love with Scotland on a backpacking trip there in 1996. She spent the next 20 years trying to figure out how to justify going back. When she found Ivy Newport's art retreat in 2017 she had just the excuse she was looking for!
You can watch the whole backstory of Karen's love affair with Scotland and how it evolved over the years and culminated in the Art Retreat in this video below!

Since the Pandemic hit the world HARD in 2020, the chances of a second trip were cancelled for both 2020 and 2021.
That's where the 1scot1not podcast comes in!
Chatting monthly about Scotland and all its fun mythical and magicalness allows both Karen and Lucy to keep sharing their love of Scotland with each other AND with YOU while they wait for another in person reunion.
Fingers crossed for 2022!

Though her husband Sean could give a rats ass about his purebred Scottish ancestry, he nevertheless has to humor Karen and listen to her incessant Scotland chatter.
He did feel a bit better about the Jamie cut-out when he got his own though....

When Karen's not painting or drawing, making books, YouTube videos or Podcasting, she's dreaming of visiting stone circles, castle ruins and haunted graveyards in Scotland! Her dream is to own a cottage in the Highlands, reading books and drinking pints by the fire!
