On today’s podcast I’m discussing motherhood and making art and self-identity with Roxanne Coble.
Roxanne is a mixed media artist, illustrator, and maker of things.
Known for her detailed art journaling, her work fuses both mixed media and painted illustration.
Inspired by all things macabre, completed pages embrace a balance of humor and dark emotional themes – all while exploring topical events that occur within her personal life.
On the podcast we discuss how having a baby has changed her business and her mindset, as well as her priorities. We discuss the guilt of motherhood, the need to make art, and the struggle to find identity after baby. I hope you’ll listen to the podcast and if you like it, tell a friend!
