Last week I felt so great about the feedback I received from my critique group, I thought this would motivate me to dive back into work. But last weekend, and early into this week I felt pretty drained mentally. This whole week has been a bit of a blur, as each week day I thought it was a completely different day. I also thought that it was the last week of April…There’s still another one. But, I do think I made some good progress with my cyanotype work. And took some time to do a few creative things outside of my art practice that I’ll share later.

This week I decided to begin my own Artist Residency in Motherhood.

I’ve always viewed care taking and my domestic life as an obstacle in my art practice. I can’t have un interrupted studio time and work for six hours straight, or stay up well into the night like I used to. But I also can’t keep working with the frame of mind that I didn’t get some type of studio work done because of my role as a mother, or wife.
