By Robyna on May 21, 2016

So it’s been a while since “Brisbane fashion” could be considered an oxymoron.

Motherhood & Creativity: A Book Review

By Robyna on July 15, 2015

Rachel Power’s book, Motherhood & Creativity, struck a real chord with me. The book is a compilation of interviews with successful artists on how being a mother affects their creative practice.
