The Working Mother Experience inspires ambitious women to honestly and creatively share what it means to work and mother. Our goal is to collect and compile 250 pieces of individual art, painted by working mothers around the globe, to showcase the richness and diversity of what it means to mother and work.

Episode #52: Why does painting help working mothers? Confession Session with Morgan (WME Founder & Executive Director)

December 08, 2024 • Working Mother Experience

In this rambling episode, Morgan, The Working Mother Experience Founder & Executive Director, shares why she believes the work the WME team is doing matters.

Over the last three years, WME has collected 125 original pieces of art painted by mothers around the world. It has hosted corporate workshops, exhibits, created a calendar for purchase, and more recently, initiated the Pay It Forward series to support mothers who may need support accessing paint materials, time and support to create their own unique art piece.

And while there has been great momentum, Morgan believes it critical to always ask "why does what we do matter?" From expressing and reframing one's experience to creating community, Morgan shares her view on why art matters to mothers (and everyone).
