WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A MAMA?
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A MAMA?
“I didn’t anticipate having feelings around not being a mama. I thought I didn’t care - that I’d be okay with whatever happened - kids or no.
I feel like I’m not doing something I’m supposed to do, that society expects me to do. That I’m not using my body to do the things it’s supposed to do. I don’t even know if my body can have kids. But I want to know what it feels like to be pregnant. To grow a tiny human inside of you. I’d really like to know.”

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.
