i love this quote! not just because it went so well with my image, but because it sort of summarizes my thoughts about who i am in relation to my artistic side as of late.
as a new mom, i have re-evaluated what i am... who i am. as you can see, i updated my profile blurb to say...
but it's also added confusion to what and who i want to be "when i grow up". because i am nursing, i know for sure that i don't want to go back to a job outside of the home. and mr. b and i have decided that we for sure want one of us to be home to raise our child. so for now, that kind of limits me to doing freelance design or photography {but i feel i still have so much to learn for the latter before i can do that seriously}.
so, i am really trying to figure out the balance... the new way of things. even sort of reinventing myself, or at least, my new roles.
funny thing... having a child limits my time for artistic exploration. but ironically, it also ignites my desire for artistic exploration... a real conundrum, if you ask me!
i want to pursue my artistic interests more than ever! if you have little ones at home, what is your secret? what balance have you come up with? or even if it's not kids... if it is something else that demands as much or more time than your art, how do you make it work?
or are you like me... still looking for the crystal-clear path you are meant to be on right now?
"wife of mr. b., mama to one beautiful boy, graphic designer, aspiring interior designer, wanna-be fashion designer, painter, amateur {but learning} photographer, lover of all things beautiful. i have a degree in graphic design, and i have started a degree in interior design. i never want to stop growing as an artist. this is the main reason i started my blogs."it used to just start with "graphic designer..." but now i am so much more than all those other things. i am first and foremost, a mom {in terms of what i do all day}... it's my new full-time job! and i would not have it any other way. sure... i am still doing some freelance graphic design whenever i can get it. and i'm still dabbling in photography, especially now that i have a little one to practice infant photography on.
