What My Artist Mom Taught Me About a Lifetime of Creativity Shondaland 3 hrs ago Alia Volz © Getty/Meridy Volz One writer reveals how she learned resilience from a mother dedicated to a craft even in the toughest of times. Whenever my mom blasted music loud enough to rattle the windows, usually Anita Baker or Chaka Khan, I knew she was in the zone. I’d find her in her sun-drenched studio, tubes of oil paint heaped on a rolling cart at her elbow in a jumble of colors only she understood. Her painting style was swirly, vivid, and impressionistic. Standing in the doorway, I’d watch her layer gobs of color onto her canvas using a palette knife or her fingers. The task absorbed her completely, her concentration unbreakable. This image of my mother in her studio was the same from every age, whether I was 6, 11, or 18 years old. It’s still the same now that I’m 43 and my mom is 73.
