“The Complementarity of Motherhood”

Digitized Ink Drawing
Artist Statement
This artwork captures my baby boy’s beach fun day near Lake Superior! Our connection is like blue and orange – beautifully complementary. He transformed from a sand-avoider to a sand-savant in no time, and witnessing his growth made me beam with pride. It reminded me of the precious nature of motherhood – creating opportunities for our children to explore the world with us, fostering their confidence, and building cherished connections.
