“I like to be prepared for things, but NOTHING went as planned.

I was very overdue, my doula was away, my midwife group was all away and their replacements did not know me. The doula in particular was pushy and had a very specific agenda that was at odds with what I wanted…

I planned to breastfeed, but panicked on day 1 in the hospital when things didn't go well. It was not easy or natural. I sent my mom home for my books and exhausted myself trying to figure it out for weeks. It took a long time and lots of help but eventually I was able to have a positive breastfeeding experience.”

each of these little 6”x6” works of art is a moment. a story.
they are heartaches. and tender memories.
shared by a woman who has been working it out.
thinking it over. keeping on every day.

ideas and truths reinterpreted in watercolor and inks.
you can bring one home and hang it on the wall.
or set it on the bedside table. gift it to a new mama or a not-mama who might need a reminder that she’s not alone.

each painting is 100% archival: acid free watercolor paper mounted on a kiln-dried cradled panel, and double sealed with varnish, then wax medium. the title/story is hand written in India Ink and lives attached to the back of your painting. she’ll arrive ready to display. no glass or frame is needed.
