Lottie is an artist, illustrator, and designer. She makes a variety of things—paintings, comics, merchandise—all of which seek to celebrate the simple rituals and people of life that make it meaningful. Lottie is the mother of three girls and lives with her husband and children in central New York. When she is not balancing freelance with motherhood, there is little time left! Occasionally when free time does come, Lottie loves to drink coffee, bake in her kitchen, and dream about where she and her family will roadtrip to next.
Based on the research done for her MFA thesis, Lottie Caiella shares her belief that mothers have all the makings of a great artist, and why their art is important for the world around us. Lottie shares her experiences of working in the industry and in higher ed as an artist and mother, and makes the case for how we can better uplift mother-artists in our communities.
