"Mothers of Nature" Carrie Jackson
I have often been drawn to female birds not just as decorative subjects to paint but as living metaphors for the tender, unspoken work of mothering.
These creatures balance vulnerability with fierce protectiveness, solitude with devotion, and sacrifice with patience. Mother birds and their unconditional love represent the ability to nurture while maintaining one's own integrity.
This series represents what we see in mothers and what we rarely acknowledge: their creative resilience.
