  • #187: "The Mother Artist" with Catherine Ricketts
    Jul 26 2024

    Catherine Ricketts, essayist, songwriter, writing instructor, and author of The Mother Artist: Portraits of Ambition, Limitation, and Creativity, is my guest today.

    We talk about:

    • The historical underrepresentation of mothers in the art world and the societal factors contributing to this.

    • The tension between caring for children and dedicating time to creative work.

    • The importance of support systems, self-belief, and a sense of purpose for mothers.

    • The value of art created by mothers and how we can all support all caregivers in their creative pursuits.

    Jul 19 2024

    In the final installment of this inspiring series, Robin White, Joshua Long, Lorrie Fredette, and Merideth Hite Estevez read their Artist's Oath.

    The culmination of Merideth's book, "The Artist's Joy," the Artist's Oath is a powerful coaching exercise that helps artists name how they want to show up in the world and what they believe. When we stay connected to our values, we are able to move through creative challenges and tough decisions with confidence and grace for ourselves and others.
