Creating Art Through the Lens of Motherhood

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had no idea what I had in store for me. Little did I know, the journey of motherhood would blend seamlessly with my roles as an artist and creativity coach. Balancing the demands of nurturing a new life alongside fostering creativity in others presented both challenges and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Before I had my daughter, I had all the time in the world to dive deep into my art and creativity coaching business. Every brushstroke and each coaching session was filled with a sense of freedom and possibility. After 10 years of believing I couldn’t have children, deep transformational life coaching and the therapeutic benefits of art helped me find peace. At 40, I unexpectedly became pregnant, marking a turning point.

I continued to paint while my precious daughter was nestled in my womb. Each brushstroke was a moment of meditation, envisioning a peaceful home birth. Little did I know, that soon after finishing the painting, I would unexpectedly welcome my daughter into the world six weeks ahead of schedule. It was a gentle reminder that life's plans can swiftly change, catching us by surprise.

So, there I was, unexpectedly thrust into the throes of motherhood six weeks earlier than anticipated. There was no serene home birth, no beautifully adorned nursery awaiting us. Instead, it was just me, my tiny 3lb 13 oz preemie baby, and my devoted husband navigating through the challenges of the NICU, all of us in survival mode. In the subsequent weeks, months, and even the first year, our lives spun into a whirlwind of late-night feedings, overwhelming emotions, and a newfound sense of responsibility.

While caring for my baby felt instinctual, I found myself grappling with a profound identity shift into motherhood that fundamentally altered my world.

Postpartum was no joke, and I found solace amid the chaos by immersing myself in the soothing embrace of Mother Ocean and releasing my emotions through the strokes of paint on canvas.

Amid the late-night feedings and diaper changes, finding moments to connect with nature and unleash my creativity became my lifeline, offering me a sense of peace and fulfillment during those turbulent times.

While embracing the routine of taking my baby for soothing beach walks every day, I would often find solace in visiting my canvas and painting while she peacefully snuggled in the baby carrier, skin-to-skin.

As my daughter turned one month old, I completed the third of a series of elephant paintings, capturing the matriarchial strength and power of female elephants and the tender connection between a mother elephant and her calf. This piece now adorns her bedroom wall, serving as a poignant symbol of our unbreakable bond filled with love and warmth.

Since then, we have been painting and creating with each other, side-by-side in our cozy beach studio filled with colorful paints, brushes, and endless possibilities.

Creating together has become our cherished ritual for quiet moments of reflection, a means to center ourselves amidst the chaos of daily life, a source of boundless inspiration, and a pure expression of the joy (and silliness!) that art-making infuses into our shared existence.

As a mother, I have come to realize that art has had a profound impact on my life. Not only has it allowed me to express myself creatively, but it has also helped me to connect with my child on a deeper level, and in the most playful ways.

Through art, I have been able to teach her about the world around her in a way that is both fun and educational. Whether we are painting, drawing, or sculpting with clay, art has become an integral part of our family life.

It has helped us to bond and has given us a way to express our emotions and thoughts in a meaningful way. Inviting creativity into our daily lives has enhanced motherhood for me in ways that I could have never imagined.

Creativity and art are often undervalued in our fast-paced society, yet they hold immense power to transform our lives.

Reconnecting with these aspects of ourselves is crucial for tapping into our deepest authenticity and living a life filled with vibrancy and purpose.

As a mother, an intuitive artist, and a transformational life and creativity coach, my goal is to inspire you to incorporate new creative wellness practices into your routine.

Rather than viewing it as another task to add to your never-ending list of responsibilities as a mother, consider embracing this personal painting practice as a way to nurture yourself and show self-compassion for yourself and your child(ren).

Engaging in art-making can be a powerful form of self-care, offering you a moment of solace and creativity. Whether you choose to paint alone or involve your child(ren) in the process, this ritual can become a sacred time for you to connect with your inner child and explore the depths of your creativity.

Embrace this invitation to PLAY and discover the CREATIVE WISDOM that your inner child has to offer.
