The Motherhood of Art

Over 30 artistic mothers share encouragement and creative ways of balancing family life and creative endeavors. 

This conversational book is like brunch with girlfriends and fellow moms, offering friendly advice, community encouragement, and tips on carving time out for creative endeavors while meeting the demands of motherhood.

Meet women who not only defied the "no more time to be an artist" stereotype, but found motherhood gave them focus, confidence, and efficiency in their art and creative endeavors. Becoming mothers renewed a sense of purpose in their creative pursuits, and by prioritizing this need to create, they became more patient and better mothers to their children.

Interview questions cover a range of topics, including early days and creative work, community and vulnerability, and tactics for regular creative practice. Whether you read it front to back or pick it up for a 5-minute dose of encouragement, this is the encouragement you can lean on for balancing family life and art in your own way.
