Listen Later

In this episode of 'Everyone's Creative...Right?', host Julie Fernandez speaks with two talented everyday creatives—Hannah and Lore—who have adapted their creative processes to overcome physical challenges. Hannah, a painter and digital artist, shares how she tailors her workspace and tools to accommodate her physical needs, allowing her to continue creating both traditional and digital art. Lore, a mixed media artist, discusses how chronic illness has influenced her approach to creativity, choosing manageable projects like upcycling, needle-felting, and mixed media that fit her energy levels.

Together, they explore the themes of accessibility, adaptation, and the powerful impact that creativity can have on emotional well-being. Their stories are a testament to how creativity is for everyone, no matter the obstacles they face, and how the creative process can be both empowering and healing.


Highlights:

- Hannah’s journey of adapting her art-making process to overcome physical limitations.
- Lore’s approach to creativity through small-scale crafting and upcycling, influenced by her chronic illness.

- The mental health benefits of creative expression for people living with physical challenges.

- How creativity, adaptation, and accessibility intersect to make art possible for everyone.


Key Quote:

“Adaptation is part of creativity—sometimes it’s about making the space and tools fit your needs, not the other way around.” – Lore
