Our book "The Motherhood of Art" will be published by Schiffer in April 2020. The book features 30+ interviews with creative mothers who share how they make things work in their own way. Our goal is that it provides encouragement, tactical tips, and helps people to not feel alone in their yearning to make time for their own dreams while also juggling family life.

Full color 192 pages, 8.5 x 10” hardcover

Introduction by Danielle Krysa a.k.a. The Jealous Curator
