Some artists might see their families as something that gets in the way of creativity, something that slows a career.  But I have decided that my family should be my inspiration - all of its joy and all of its mess.  Maybe they do slow down my career - whatever that is.  But let me take slow, because with it comes the joy and meaning of doing life with my family.

Perhaps family themed art can be a little sentimental.  So be it.  What kind of mom would I be if I weren't a little emotionally attached to my family?
