An Artist Residency in Motherhood (ARIM)
I completed an www.artistresidencyinmotherhood.com/ from April 10, 2018 to April 30, 2019 in Columbus, GA. "Artists-in-Residence-in-Motherhood explore the fragmented focus, nap-length studio time, limited movement and resources and general upheaval that parenthood brings and allow it to shape the direction of their work, rather than try to work “despite” it." - Lenka Clayton.
Over the course of the year, I worked in my studio every week and honestly responded to my life, time limitations, successes, and failures in an intuitive nature. You can follow my journey by checking out my website updates or on www.instagram.com/libbymcfalls_artist/
