Keeping Curious with Polly Orton

b'To mark six months of Keeping Curious, in this episode the tables have turned and I answer your questions. I opened up the forum in the Keeping Curious Facebook group and asked what questions you would like to have answered. The questions range from my personal creative inspiration, how I went about setting up a podcast, what challenges I have faced and what regrets I have. We even cover the meaning of art! Here is your chance to get to know the person behind the questions\\u2026 \\n\\nFor those that don\\u2019t know me, I\\u2019m Polly and ever since I could hold a pencil all I have wanted to be was an artist. I followed my dream through school, college and university feeling an abundance of creativity that I thought would never go away. Fast forward to my mid twenties I had a demanding job in the arts that left me with little time or energy to focus on my own creativity. I stopped making... For 5 years.\\n\\u200b\\nSo how did I get out of the rut? I followed my curiosity and I suggest you do the same. I believe creativity in all forms is something to be celebrated.'
