The Zoetica Project 2011/2012/2013 — co-founder
A workshop designed for women, born from my own frustration with identity loss, and the invisibility of stay-at-home-motherhood as it relates to oneself, parenting and marriage. It was designed as a way to use the creative process, our voice, our words, our creativity, to respond to the needs of mothers to reclaim our body, mind & spirit. Culminated in an art show that created awareness and conversations around the universal complexities of motherhood, striving to expand the understanding of creativiity and art - allowing those who would never consider themselves artists, much less creative, the opportunity to share their art with the community in which they live.
