This Ocean Life, Episode 5 - Amadeo Bachar and the Intersection of Ocean and Art

In this episode we talk with Amadeo Bachar, a man of the ocean who has carved out an amazing life in the water spearing, surfing, fishing while building his professional life out of the water drawing and painting ocean imagery. Amadeo shares his stories of growing up in an ocean-focused family hunting and gathering along the California coast and his transition into a world-renowned artist. We hear Amadeo's rad stories from bagging a 63-lb white seabass to finding zen in his art and raising his daughter to find her own ocean life.
