We cover how becoming a mother shifted her perspective on time, discipline, and the need to treat her practice as a career. Cindy speaks about the pressures that come with both roles and how comparison and stereotypes can be hard to shed and often get in the way when every artist’s circumstances are so different. We also talk about asking for help and why that can feel so difficult, the role of community and support, and how boundaries can protect space for making. Cindy shares her thoughts on managing expectations, both internal and external, and the importance of small, consistent steps. We talk about the guilt, uncertainty, and Cindy reflects on the parts of her practice are grounding and why art-making is “that one space that is mine.” Resources & Links You can find Cindy’s website here and on instagram here You can find Cindy’s episode with the Artist/Mother podcast here You can find the podcast here Thanks so much for listening!
