Catrina Higgs
Catrina Higgs is an abstract expressionist who lives in Campbellsville, KY. She is a prolific artist who works with an urgency that is palpable in her paintings. By exploring the pain and beauty of motherhood, she seeks connection to a wider community and communicates the experiences of mothers everywhere. In her portraits, she reflects the feelings of daily life as an artist mother as well as the experiences of every mother and parent caring for their children while maintaining their own health and identity. Raw, and unfiltered, Catrina’s works contribute to the significant cannon of Motherhood Art and reveal the need of all of us to be seen and represented.
Christianne Green
Christianne Green is originally from Toronto, Canada, now living in the United States. She graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and works as a comprehensive multidisciplinary artist. Her diverse portfolio features works in oil, watercolor, and archival inks, as well as upholstered furniture and fabrics. Christianne is adept within a variety of styles and subjects ranging from classically realistic portraiture to stylized conceptual art with raw social commentary to sweetly contoured nursery and maternity pieces. Her series Welcome Home explores homelessness, addiction, and domestic abuse via nontraditional watercolors whose images also appear on bespoke upholstered furniture and drapery fabrics.
Corey Godfrey
Corey Godfrey is a German-born fiber artist who resides in Dallas, Texas. She graduated with a BFA in Drawing and Painting from the University of North Texas in 2008. She is also the Production and Administrative Manager at the arts non-profit AURORA, an organization that focuses on art, technology, and community.
Corey’s work is rooted in a fascination with “craft” materials, specifically yarn. A material typically associated with “women’s work,” her use of yarn provokes a passage of time, sensuality, resilience and beauty, all of which portray the strength of women as they transform and integrate into their surroundings, their nature.
Corey has exhibited her work regionally and nationally.
Courtney Miles Baraff
Courtney is a native Texan and a commercial/residential muralist and painter with works ranging from large outdoor installations to private luxury homes and educational institutions. This includes murals she designed and painted for thirteen Trader Joe’s stores throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Colorado.
For five years, Courtney ran an art gallery in Dallas. She is a founding member of Art Conspiracy, an organization which raises money for local art-based non-profits. She has taught art at both the college and high school levels, and continues to consult privately.
She often collaborates with her sister, Cara Johnston, creating murals or performing plays, including their original play “The Little Glass Slipper as Performed by the Queen of France and her Friends” which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2021.
Dawn Elise Edelman
Dawn Elise Edelman is a mother, acupuncturist, and creative. She cherishes the moments when she can exist in a world without time or construct so she can feel the forces of Nature at play. It is in these moments that Dawn visually explores how the energy of our bodies interacts with the world around us, how it moves and transforms. Within our physical structure, is this energy open and spacious or dense and restrictive? She has sensed what we were before, and feels the density and its implications now, drawing large deconstructed bodies that exist without preconceived notions or boundaries. Her creative process leans into movement as she continually draws, erases, and draws again, carving out the path to a completed piece.
Dawn has no art degree and enjoys participating in art classes intermittently. She mostly draws on a large scale so the viewer sees and feels the process of transformation. Her Dallas-based acupuncture practice is rich and fulfilling, inspiring much of her artwork and perspective on all things.
Sarah Creasman Barnett
Sarah Creasman Barnett is the inspiration for thMTHRshp. Originally from Arkansas, she is a mother of two and a practicing attorney in addition to a highly sought-after commission artist. She has been featured in many local and national arts publications. Sarah’s art is technically excellent and stylistically unique while invoking the influence of modern masters like David Hockney, Edward Hopper, and Marc Chagall. She is skilled within a variety of media including digital, acrylic, and mixed media. Her work often focuses on domestic scenes, a subject close to her heart.
