You are absolutely right - I meant to include some well-known artists who did have children, like Berthe Morisot and Käthe Kollwitz. The rewards are priceless, indeed! I hope you will stop in and see us again if you get out this way - bring the kiddos! And best wishes to you in your pursuits - art, motherhood, and everything else! Warm wishes, Jen jhoffmanwyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724390765699102627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372378224143066920.post-38856251159534058952016-10-31T07:14:08.618-07:002016-10-31T07:14:08.618-07:00Thanks Jen, I enjoyed your beautiful story and lov...Thanks Jen, I enjoyed your beautiful story and love your family :) Hugs, Debbie PhillipsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372378224143066920.post-2772818512079854162016-10-31T07:07:04.253-07:002016-10-31T07:07:04.253-07:00I love this post!

I always took hope and inspiration (starting in a university art history class) from the example of Berthe Morisot, the female French impressionist who hung out with Monet and Degas . . . AND raised two beautiful daughters. <br /><br />Now I am a professional artist-mom, and while it's never easy, the rewards are priceless. Thank you for sharing this. <br /><br />(I visited your gallery about 5 years ago while in Jackson for the Charles Reid workshop, and I was very impressed by both the quality of the artwork and who you are as people, in your personal life. Wishing you all the best--Jana)charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.com
