Gina Farrar – adventures in all dimensions

  • Summary

  • How creativity can fit into the seasons of your life
    Gina Farrar has embraced many facets of her own creativity in midlife, and loves to share how doing so can be a great tool for self-discovery and expression.
    In this episode I talk with Gina about her desire to and experiences of homeschooling her two girls, and how those same girls were pivotal in Gina's rediscovery of and explorations in watercolour and acrylic painting.
    Gina emphasizes that creativity doesn't have to be confined to traditional art forms, but can be expressed through cookery, gardening, home decorating, and more, and discusses the challenges and joys of working on a moving, three-dimensional canvas, as she has done in the past through makeup artistry and body painting.
    Gina had a discouraging experience in art class in junior high, which she explains occurred at a particular season in her life that meant it hit her harder than it may have done at another time. Now, she can reflect on her current season of life, where she is evaluating what's next and making intentional shifts towards dedicating more time to her art.
    We also talk about Gina's podcast, Feminine Roadmap, which she started to create a platform for midlife women to discuss a wide range of topics, beyond just ageing and menopause.
    Above all, Gina encourages listeners – of Creativity Found and of Feminine Roadmap – to embrace creativity in whatever form it takes and to be open to trying new things without the pressure of perfection: revel in the act of creating and expressing oneself, rather than striving for mastery.
