5 Things Worth Reading and Watching About Artist/Mothers

5 Things Worth Reading and Watching About Artist/Mothers

Each month I post here about things I have been reading and watching around creativity and motherhood. It’s quite amazing, actually, how the conversation around motherhood and being an artist has evolved. You’ll find some interesting articles, photos, and episodes that are hopefully changing how we define both motherhood and what it means to be an artist of any kind. I know the photo is a little off topic, but I’m feeling very autumnal and this is a photo of me making apple crumble so it feels lovely and seasonal. Hope you enjoy!
