Art Baby

Hello Creative Friends,

In 2016 when I launched my illustration business I posted  a light comparison to "what I imagined" was a similarity between birthing a business and birthing a baby on social media. Woo! Was that a touchy subject! A lot of parent friends had an opinion on that one... and they were spicy. Interestingly however, parents who also worked for themselves all agreed: Business and Babies were similar. 

This episode is about one of the similarities I've noticed now that I have firsthand experience with and Babies: They are catalysts for healing. The culture doesn't talk about this very often. In this episode I want to unpack the way that the crunchiness, discomfort, and downright pain of creating with our children/ creating with our art is in fact an entrance point into re-creating fresh new versions of ourselves.
