An artist and a mom
This could be a whole separate thread, I think. How do you manage being an artist and a mom? Patricia, I paint at naptime. Also, my family pulls together and helps me disappear into the studio sometimes. My oldest plays with the youngest. My husband cooks dinner. Still, my work time is planned around everyone else's schedule in the family and I usually wind up getting the most work done after the kids have gone to bed. Also, I have a part time job as a financial analyst to consider. I think right now the toughest challenge is having the energy to paint while pregnant. I like my sleep.
I wonder if there is a resource out there for women in my shoes. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks for your compliments!
