It’s not quite finished, but it’s nearly there. My first piece for my Artist in Residence in Motherhood project.
I thought a good starting place would be a self portrait. It captures me as I feel at this time. A mother, full of creation, yet hollow in missing my own parents. Acrylics on paper.
I’m looking forward to getting this tidied up and finished. Nonetheless, in the spirut of sharing imperfect pieces, it feels right to share it now, and I’ll be sharing my website and Insta publicly too. Let the accountability begin.
This came naturally to me. I’d love to try something like this on a larger scale, with lots of scope for rich colour and texture.
