Oil Paint on Canvas Board

16 x 20

Documenting pregnancy changes through painting becomes a quiet, radical act of witness—each brushstroke marks a new contour of the body and a shifting landscape of identity. As mornings stretch and moods alter, color choices and compositional decisions capture more than physical growth: they record the ebb of energy, the humor in unexpected cravings, the tenderness of anticipation, and the small griefs for a former self. Minimalist lines and vivid palettes can distill complex emotions into clear statements, while repeated motifs—bubbles, hands, profiles—trace the evolving dialogue between self and child. Over time the series becomes both journal and manifesto: a visual archive that honors transformation, asserts the pregnant body as worthy of attention, and invites viewers to witness the intimate work of becoming.
