Being pregnant has inspired me to take my art to a different level where I can explore what it means to be pregnant. Being pregnant has made me take a deeper look into myself and the connection I have with mind and body. I find that all too often many of us are not connected to our bodies and the every day changes we go through. However while pregnant it is almost impossible not to recognize your bodies demands and changes as you now have a new life growing inside of you. This new awareness of body and mind also makes me think a lot about beauty and the definitions that society claims on it compared to my own feelings of what beauty is or can be.

The pictures above are of a piece I completed while taking a 3D Art class this last semester (which just ended this past Monday). It is a sculpture carved out of plaster of a woman's torso while pregnant. Although 3D art is not my thing I still enjoyed making this piece and learning the process of using plaster.
