The Art of Motherhood
Motherhood is not static. The way I feel about my life as a mother changes with every moment. The way I feel about being a mother changes with every day with my children, every article I read about, every woman I talk to, every story from would-be mother suffering infertility, every time I’m around mothers or grandmothers or pregnant mothers or adoptive mothers, and when I stop and think about the life of the every day woman sharing her life with children.
Introducing “The Art of Motherhood,” a weekly look at the many ways motherhood is captured in art.
I’ve been thinking of a project like this for a few years but never began. I’m beginning.
Each Friday, I will update the page to include a piece of art that captures my state of motherhood that week. It is my hope that you send me your varied states of motherhood, how you feel today and tomorrow, and/or your own art or titles of paintings, sculpture, graphic art, etc. that you feel captured the essence of your motherhood.
Welcome to “The Art of Motherhood.” Click HERE or click on the link on the sidebar for week one.
