Oh I really liked seeing this. It was wonderful seeing all those women artist mothers. I could relate to all they said. Is response to Who do you think you are, I want to say I am an Artist Dammit.....
OMG this gave me chills - It really strikes a chord with me. I was recently lent a book by Julia Cameron called "The Artists Way" and I have loved reading it. It too says that if you have that creative urge you should act upon it. It is a struggle, but I would hate to think what kind of person and mother I would be if I didn't have my creative outlet. Thanks for posting this Lisa - mummys should feel empowered! x
WOW, I don't have any words for how this makes me FEEL, but it was like listening to a description of my own life as a mother;, no time to paint, feeling crazy from not painting, painting because I HAD too, but really, no time to paint.......now that I'm older and the kids are too, I understand that in order to be the best mother/wife that I can, I MUST paint even if it's only for a few minutes each day! Thanks SO much for sharing this, Lisa!
wow and you know what? this sort of makes me want to weep! I wish I could change a few things, but maybe that's what we're doing by blogging, arting and sharing.
I am a writer, an artist and a dreamer, a Creativity Coach and maker of meaning. I am on a journey following my heart. It promises to take me to some incredibly exciting places. Won't you join me?
