Finding the Why in Creativity: A Conversation with Marina Gallovitch

All of us go through many different creative passions through our life, but what’s truly important is finding the why in creativity. Maybe you paint, maybe you knit, or maybe you are a photographer. Whatever you do to unleash your creativity, know why you are doing it because your “why” is even more important than the “what” you are doing. No one knows that better than today’s guest who’s explored several different creative “whats” all in pursuit of her why!

Today I’m chatting with Marina Gallovitch, an artist, teacher, photographer, and mom living in Illinois with her family. She runs the blog and in-home art studio for young artists Flash Bugs Studio. From traditional art to a passion for photography, to finally beginning this new class for youngsters exploring their art and creativity, Marina shows how you can change your creative passions while staying true to your why!

Finding the Why in Creativity with Marina Gallovitch

Today Marina and I chat about

  • How your creative passions may change as you spend time learning and exploring as a mom.
  • The idea that your creative “why” may be even more important than WHAT you’re actually doing.
  • Allowing life’s natural changes to happen and adapting to live the life you want.
  • How to stay as organized and balanced as possible by planning ahead and not feeling guilty for keeping things simple when they need to be!
