The Artist in Residency in Motherhood was started by Lanka Clayton. This is a self-directed residency within my own home was a means of reclaiming an integral part of myself: my studio practice.

I started my residency in mid-December 2020. Each day (or if I'm honest, every other day), I sit and give myself 20 minutes. 20 minutes to breathe, be still, and focus on making one line at a time using a thin brush and watercolor. The images I created are inspired by a small rainbow Montessori toy my daughter owns. And I made a lot of rainbows.
