  • Painting & Parenting with Cindy Rizza
    In this episode I talk with artist Cindy Rizza about the realities of having a creative career while parenting. We cover how becoming a mother shifted her perspective on time, discipline, and the need to treat her practice as a career. Cindy speaks about the pressures that come with both roles and how comparison and stereotypes can be hard to shed and often get in the way when every artist’s circumstances are so different.We also talk about asking for help and why that can feel so difficult, the role of community and support, and how boundaries can protect space for making. Cindy shares her thoughts on managing expectations, both internal and external, and the importance of small, consistent steps.We talk about the guilt, uncertainty, and Cindy reflects on the parts of her practice are grounding and why art-making is “that one space that is mine.”Resources & LinksYou can find Cindy’s website here and on instagram hereYou can find Cindy’s episode with the Artist/Mother podcast hereYou can find the podcast hereThanks so much for listening!
