Washington Post • Mother’s Day Editorial Illustration
For their 2021 Mother’s Day issue, I created an illustration to accompany Terryn Hall’s beautiful essay about discovering her desire to be a mother via caretaking for her grandmother. Thanks to lovely art director Marissa Vonesh for tapping me to participate in this issue.
