You know i always struggled with a sense of legitimacy as an artist but the other day my 4 yr old made a film about his mum the artists and hearing him say my mum is an artist made me feel like one for the first time in my life.
Cheers Amelia

One of my very favorite blogs helps me do that. http://www.Artbizblog.com. I am in Alyson’s Artist Conspiracy group, where we get coached in being good managers of our own art careers. Recently, she had guest blogger, Sandhya Manne, talk about the challenges of Balancing the Roles of Artist and Mother. […]

I’d love to see more perspective from artist-mothers as I am learning to balance these two passions. I’ve spent the whole weekend with my father and husband building my studio in the garage so that I can have a space separate from my house. I think I’m going to write a blog post about this too! Thanks.

Really impressed at your work. The way you have simplified the work of WARLI art makes blokes like me also to try my hand at drawing some thing. I had a boss who used to tell me that ” he will straighten the straight line drawn by me with the help of a scale. Such is my talent.
My nephew ramu is also an artist and you can visit his work on toonrama.
I wish you all the best both as mother and artist.
God Bless you

Vanessa, It is true that the "to-do's" can get overwhelming at times... I sometimes pick the top 3 must dos and finish them before I go to bed.. But most of the times I recall what Alyson mentions in her class..."Alyson says I can’t do it all".. that makes me sleep better....]]> In reply to Vanessa.

Vanessa,

I feed my baby between sessions and my husband cares for her while i’m out in the studio. I have my routine with a little bit of flexibility in it but it’s well established and keeps us all happy! I only have one toxic paint pigment that I am careful with so I don’t risk contamination but my studio is off limits and behind two doors as well. I don’t use solvents and I take a lot of care to enjoy all aspects of being an artist and a mother!

My lovely sister gave me a book to read…’Paint In Your Pyjamas’ by Cindy Wider, it was AWESOME!!! I have written a review in my blog if you are interested in the book here is the link: http://denitatizard.blogspot.com/2009/11/painting-in-your-pjs.html
I set up a space for my 2 year old next to me or put on a trusty DVD so I get time to paint. A little bonus is that we are filling Maddy’s room with all the paintings she has done 🙂 I love her paintings.

Sandhya, congrats on making the jump to dive into your art career. That in itself is a big accomplishment.
Having routine is certainly key like you’ve said. I always find that I’ll develop a routine and it’s will be fine but then something throws a wrench in it and I have a little trouble getting back on track.
How do you also make sure not to overwhelm yourself with all of the “to-do’s” ? Do you find it difficult sometimes to push things to the back burner for a bit?
