Good morning everyone!

My name is April Priddy-Smith. I'm a psychology major at the University of NC at Greensboro, a mom of three very unique young people, a former middle and high school art teacher, and an amateur artist to boot! Needless to say, I'm a busy person these days. Anyhoo, I'm currently doing research on the effects of motherhood on women's creativity and I want to invite all of you to visit the web-link to my survey to become involved. My goal is to get 300 female artists to complete the survey by the end of the summer and hopefully, once it's all said and done, perhaps the findings will be published in one of the scholarly journals dedicated to creativity research. Who knows :-).

The link is below and I hope that all of you will take a few minutes (I know, like you have a few minutes UUUGGGGHHH!) because this issue is very dear to me and I'm sure to all of you as well. If you have other friends who might also want to participate, either send them here to Mamaphonic or I believe you can copy this link and paste it in an e-mail. Send it to all the women artists you know!!

Thanks so much to all of you!

I'll post again soon to keep you updated about how many have particpated! Here's to a creative and productive summer!

Best-
April
