The Artful Mum
Rachel Moodie
Darling Mills Studio
Rachel Moodie invited six fellow artists (who are also mothers) to share their experience of creativity postpartum. ‘The Artful Mum’ was conceived to offer moments of inspiration for Moodie after her second child was born, a need that will no doubt resonate with others. Each interview offers personal insights as well as reproductions of the women’s textiles, photography, painting and works on paper. The uplifting discussions about time-management and a positive sense of self are a helpful touchstone, not only for creatives, but anyone who is interested in the inevitability of change in life and how to thrive as a result. As Bianca Harrington enthuses ‘Be kind to yourself and don’t give up.’
