Artist Mothers Group: iPhone Photography

iPhone Photography with Sharen Ritterman.

Sharen Ritterman uses advances in camera technology on the iPhone and iPad in her work. She will share the many apps that can be used with these mobile devices to create the new medium commonly known as “iPhoneography”. This art form uses apps to edit and manipulate digital photos to create works of art. Please bring your iPhone or iPad (with wifi) to explore this new medium.

The acts and demands of child-rearing are exhausting and challenging. While caregiving, it can feel like we are not taken seriously as artists. Some women give up artmaking completely. Others refuse to choose, knowing that artmaking is an oxygen mask one must put on before assisting little ones.

The Artist Mothers Group at MAWA extends an invitation to all artist mothers to come and meet other women who embrace both mothering and artistic production. This peer-based group usually meets on the first Wednesday of each month. Meetings are relaxed and informal. The group experiments with art materials, critiques each other’s work, and shares snacks, concerns, ideas, inspiration, strategies and support for those who juggle the tricky life of artmaking and mothering.

Facilitated by Sandra Brown and Brenna George

If you can’t make the meetings, please consider participating in the Artist Mothers at MAWA Facebook page, Artist Mothers at MAWA.
