The Art process can be fundamentally different for women with children. The adjustment to a new baby requires adapting to their schedule. We learn that our lives are more cyclical than linear. That begins to creep into our art. Our art process becomes a natural cycle of time and seasons, as we watch others take off on a linear track of work, promotion, and success.

And we keep working. Sometimes in frustration. There are breaks and interruptions. A field that lies fallow for a season or two, Art becomes more productive when planted again. Winter is quiet, then raucous growth in spring. We learn to count on this . Like an orchard, a career requires years to yield its best. Eventually a summer comes along when fruit is abundant and the harvest is good.
