I started this painting in May of 2025 and finished in June of 2026, but I really only worked on it a handful of sessions. I was about a year postpartum with my daughter and reflecting on the end of my pregnancy (whew), new identity, breast feeding (surprise - that was harder than expected), and becoming a mother.
I love this painting so much that I turned it into giclee prints (a small edition, printed locally) and silk scarves (an even smaller edition, printed in London on silk).

I started this painting when in the middle of fertility problems, recently diagnosed with PCOS, and starting to really understand/take care of my hormones. I worked on it through pregnancy, quietly in the background of my studio, postpartum, with my baby and now toddler. I recently had a break and knew she was finished. Representative of all the times I needed to take to the bed, for the highs and lows.
