Being a Mother and Artist

I'm so excited! My work just got accepted into a New York exhibition juried by two incredible artists (Eugene Daub and Alicia Ponzi).

California Sculpture: Works from Northern and Southern California Communities opens today and is showing until October 18th at the National Sculpture Society, NY. The organisation (NSS) is the oldest and arguably the most prestigious sculpture organisation in the US. 

I have to say I am feeling pretty proud, especially since it has been summer time and I have been with my little girl pretty much full-time for coming up to six weeks. It has been easy to forget myself and focus entirely on parenting. The exhibition is a reminder of who I am and what I am capable of. 

Last year I looked at Alicia's website in absolute awe thinking about how substantial and full her career has been. And today she and Eugene have allowed myself and eighteen other US artists to have this fantastic opportunity. 

I hope you have a chance to check it out if you're in New York City!
