We are so pleased to present the first installment of Aiya Art's special, 10-week online art exhibit (each Wednesday) for the Museum of Motherhood! We are so touched by her work and hope you will be too.
Over the next ten weeks I will be sharing with you a glimpse of my own journey into motherhood. Each of us has a unique perspective of what it means to be a mother, influenced by those around us and the culture we live in. It is a piece of fabric that fits into the quilt of global motherhood. I want to share with you through art, stories and memories my own personal patch of that quilt.
It seems fitting to begin this journey with my own Mother, Doris Kuegler. She was born in 1941, in Germany during World War II. By the time the war ended in 1945, her Mother had died of typhoid and her father, a socialist, was still in hiding due to his anti-Nazi sentiments. My mother was five years old, living and scavenging for food amidst the rubble with hundreds of other homeless children.
She ultimately survived those early years to become a nurse, a theologian, and then a mother.
