JANINE GOOD

The drawing called Waiting shows the model shifting in various positions as the weight of the baby gets uncomfortable.

This drawing won Best in the Show Award.

Art was a good distraction when I went into labour. The only thing that would take my mind off the contractions while I waited for a lift to the hospital was to draw - it was a floral arrangement, I never finished.

Breastfeeding was an equally amazing experience, as was raising two children into adulthood.

MOTHERHOOD

My first full-term pregnancy was such a profound, life-changing experience that I couldn’t ignore expressing how I felt through art.

I also couldn’t resist drawing my bulging body while I had the opportunity, I find it such a beautiful shape.

The human body is amazing!
