  1. I have long loved Mary Cassatt. Her images of women and children are amazing and they've inspired my art as well. Lovely, lovely.

  2. I love seeing these. It's makes me feel better when I get weird looks for breastfeeding my gigantic 18 month old in public. It's art! in the middle of a city practically dedicated to art, (Rome) you'd think people would be more accepting.

  3. Nicole, it is whack how un-accepting people can be :(
    Good for you for NIP despite the weird looks! I nursed my almost 4-year-old in an indoor shopping center the other day. You're not alone :)
