The small, everyday moments with them—their laughter, their tears, the little joys and challenges—have all become a larger part of my creative process. What might seem like constraints have actually become catalysts to fresh ideas and approaches, revealing new paths for art to be explored that I might never have discovered otherwise.

My daughters have taught me that creativity isn’t just about carving out long stretches of time for artistic pursuits.
