I am a proud mother of two delightful daughters. I was lucky enough to experience two healthy pregnancies. As my tummy swelled larger and larger, so did my need to capture this season of my life. I painted my tummy a bright orange and and pressed it up agains a canvas and made a print of my belly. I then painted in a head and legs and it became a bear. I liked the painting so much that I did two more prints of my belly and made them into an elephant and a lion. Family and friends who had seen the paintings would say “what a clever idea”. Then eureka! I decided to develop the idea further by offering it in the form of a kit so that people could create the same art in the privacy of their own home, with their loved ones.
