I&rsq Excitedly preparing and gathering materials as we get closer to the @wellspringmotherart Fall Pop Up retreats! Thank you to all who’ve already signed up!

See you In case you missed this in my stories, I’ve been reorganizing books and am trying to make a little bit of space. So I’m doing a little mini book sale in my stories. Go check it out, everything is less than $10, I haven’t priced an I’m so, so excited to get to chat with Cat Ricketts this Thursday about making, motherhood and the Wellspring Project! Tune in at 1pm this Thursday over on Cat’s page: @bycatherinericketts ABOUT: The Mother/Artist Lunch/Break is a ser Childlike wonder. I love going to museums with my girls because they bring such life and joy to my experience of walking through the space. Whether it’s a Natural History Museum like in these photos or our more usual art museum adventures. “I am not good at compartmentalizing so my studio practice and my artistry has got to somehow meld in a fluid way with my mothering, which has to somehow meld in a fluid way with my prayer life, which then naturally connects with our church lif I’m so excited!!!! Head over to @wellspringmotherart for all the details and to REGISTER! Let us know if you have any questions. Not a mother artist, or too far from Philly or St. John’s, MN? Check out the opportunity to SUPPORT a mothe Zinaida Serebryakova, “At Breakfast,” (1914). #visualcommonplacebook #motherartist #arthistory #russianart #littlethings
