The story behind the artwork:The concept of ‘The Both/ And’ honors the full, complex realities that life presents in which you can experience seemingly contradictory emotions. All throughout our IVF journey we experienced this. We were:Excited for each embryo transfer and scared it would not work.Hopeful for each new chance and exhausted from all the medical procedures.Grateful for the support from loved ones and sad that we needed to go this route. Both. And.Of course ‘The Both/ And’ extends far beyond IVF and it can show up in all areas of your life:You can be grateful for a new job and overwhelmed by its demands.You can adore your partner and still want time and space to do your own thing.You can be delighted about becoming a parent and exhausted by how much your life has changed. You can be excited about moving to a new home and frustrated by how much work moving is. Creating space for your feelings isn't always easy, but it offers so much relief and compassion. And the true art in life is to keep granting yourself that space over and over again.An original mixed media painting, 73x92 cm, acrylic paint, oil pastels, charcoal.The painting has been built, layer by layer, mark by mark, until a beautifully, balanced work of art emerged – colorful and complex.
