Artist‘s Statement
This year I’ve been wrestling with a topic that’s preoccupied me for decades—specifically, what is the unique role of non-moms in our culture. I wrote a ‘Mother’s Day’ essay for SheKnows about the idea of being ‘pro-creative’ even if you never procreate. A pro-creative life is one filled with connections across generations, a life that stands for something bigger than ourselves. In this post-Dobbs world, I’m painfully aware of how much harder this choice will be for younger women.
