<a title= "Artists in Offices Podcast Website" href= "https://artistsinoffices.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Artists in Offices</a> explores how the work we do for pay supports the work we do for love. I'm your host, <a href= "https://rebeccabirdgrigsby.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Rebecca Bird Grigsby</a>—visual artist, mom of two, and full-time project manager by day. Season 1 featured artists balancing day jobs and creative practice. This season, I'm talking with artists who are also parents about making art while raising kids. We'll dive into the challenges and joys of sustaining creativity alongside caregiving—how parenting reshapes priorities, changes our sense of time, and redefines what studio work looks like. Guests share stories of support networks, teaching as livelihood, navigating unexpected life shifts, and modeling persistence for their children. At its core, Season 2 is about embracing the conversation: how art and caregiving intersect, transform each other, and keep us creating. Welcome to Artists in Offices, Season 2!
