Artist Life Lately: Motherhood, New Artwork & the Fenton Art Festival

Hi friends! I’m in a season of life that’s full! Full of love, full of new beginnings, and full of tiny windows of time that I’ve learned to treasure. As I navigate new motherhood, I’m also finding new rhythms in my art practice. It’s amazing how much creativity flows when you’re working in the little in-between moments of the day.

Right now, I’m getting ready for the Fenton Art Festival coming up this September 14 in Cary, North Carolina, and I couldn’t be more excited. When I first applied, I’ll be honest, I felt a little nervous. It’s been a while since I’ve done a big art show, and there was definitely a flicker of self-doubt. But when I opened the acceptance email, I was absolutely thrilled! It felt like a beautiful affirmation to keep saying yes to this path.

The Fenton Art Festival Sunday, September 14 from 11am-3pm in Cary, NC

Since then, it’s been full steam ahead: planning my booth setup, figuring out tent displays, ordering prints, wiring and framing pieces, and dreaming up a fresh collection of originals just for the show. It’s a big undertaking, but it feels energizing and aligned, and I’m so looking forward to sharing it all in person soon.

This upcoming collection reflects everything I’ve been inspired by lately...nature, softness, strength, and a deep sense of presence ( or trying to! lol)

If you’re local, I’d love to see you at the festival! It’s a curated outdoor fine art event held at Fenton, a vibrant mixed-use space in Cary that’s perfect for strolling and discovering new artists. So save the date and give my tent a little visit :)

And of course follow me on Instagram: @amyyeagerjorge for behind-the-scenes peeks, sneak previews, and a look at how it all comes together.

Thanks so much for being part of this creative journey. It means the world to have your support!
