"It is a myth that a real artist is madly consumed with art, a kind of romantic idea we have about artists, but in reality I don't think you have to be consumed by art to be authentic. Your artistic self is one part of you that you can occupy, just as the loving, mothering part of you is also a fully engaging place to occupy. You travel back and forth because you have to" - author & illustrator Martine Murray, on one of many dog-eared pages. Never-ending respect to all the artists making work while also being primary carers 👊👶♥
