Everyone is creative in their own way.
In this episode of Real Things Living, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Ali Hall, a contemporary fine artist whose abstract and nature-inspired works bring calm and joy to those who experience them.
Ali shares her journey—from discovering painting as a child, to rediscovering it after a decade-long pause and major life challenges. They explore how creativity fosters resilience, connects us to nature, and helps us navigate life’s noise.
🌟 Three Takeaways
(1) Creativity is for everyone: it’s not just painting or writing; even cooking or fixing things can be powerful creative outlets.
(2) The art of play builds resilience: allowing yourself to experiment and “be imperfect” creates space for joy and healing.
(3) Stillness fuels creativity: taking just 5–15 minutes a day to pause, doodle, or reflect can bring calm and new perspective.
