As part of my ongoing Artist in Residency on “Motherhood”, I’ve created work surrounding how this season of my life makes me “feel”. The theme of “women in chairs” emerged as a subject to paint after I gave birth to my third baby. It was during the post-partum period following his birth that I continued a series of self portraits I had started during my previous artist in residency called “The Playful Project”. My self portraits evolved to include my newborn and various patterns of his swaddle and my blankets and robes as I nursed him each day.
These photos were captured by local photographer Victoria Danielle.
