The Artist / Mother Dilemma; My Personal Journey

In this first episode of season 4, Alicia speaks frankly about the difficulties in motherhood of maintaining the creative process and seeing ourselves as artists when we are so enamored/distracted by the responsibility of caring for a child. Alicia shares her journey and the shifts that she made to keep making art including shifting genres, creating new processes, and finding ways to be creatively efficient.  If you enjoy this episode, please check out these interviews with artist mothers who speak about how they balance motherhood and their creative process in our conversation.  Conversation with Visual Artist Carolyn Mara: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-creative-process-inspiration-from-artists/id1600742208?i=1000549121922 Conversation with Playwright Jennifer Barclay: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-creative-process-inspiration-from-artists/id1600742208?i=1000551417037 Conversation with Opera Director Cynthia Stokes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-creative-process-inspiration-from-artists/id1600742208?i=1000555095993 Please follow Alicia on Instagram at @Aliciapetersonbaskel
