8 illustrators who capture the ups and downs of motherhood

As Mother’s Day approaches, I wanted to share some of my favorite illustrators who are capturing the motherhood experience in all the best ways, from the comical and mundane to the heartfelt. These women make me laugh on the daily, and frankly, I need more of that in my Instagram feed.

Being a mother is a million different emotions all wrapped into one. I love when I can see a relatable experience conveyed through art, because it reaffirms my belief that we are all in this together. Yes, everyone is different, but the shared experience of motherhood is a collective feeling. And sometimes we just need to laugh at this journey we’re on, especially on social media , when so much of my scrolling depicts perfect homes with perfect-looking children and you guessed it, perfectly-styled mamas. Here’s to artists who keep it real (and keep me laughing)!
