In this episode I’m talking to Frank Gordon, an artist and community mental health nurse based in Dunedin, New Zealand. We chat about how Frank juggles his dual roles, including his passion for art and commitment to both his jobs. We chat about some of the problems that come up when you’re labelling yourself, or when you’re labeled by others, and the pressures of maintaining a balance between his professional life, personal life, and artistic passion. We talk about Frank's journey from seeing art as a hobby to becoming an established artist, the importance of stepping back from work to gain fresh perspectives, and the impacts, positive and negative, that his other job has on his art. We also explore the challenges of monetising your passion and the influence of stories in his creative process.
