This series is a conversation about the chaos and often less-than-picturesque realities of motherhood. I am fascinated with the ways in which our society portrays highly idealized versions of the motherhood experience with a fictitious level of perfection. As a mother of two, I have come to realize that this perfection is at times rare and more often non-existent. I have no interest in pretending that being a mother has been nothing but wonderful. I choose to instead embrace the chaos. Further, I have no desire for my work to be pretty because reality is not always pretty.
