There are moments in parenthood when you witness your child’s soul expand – and museums are where magic happens. ✨ Standing in the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, I watched our daughters absorb something profound: that a woman could paint the desert’s raw beauty with such fierce independence that the art world had no choice but to listen. O’Keeffe wasn’t just creating art – she was claiming space, demanding recognition, and painting her truth onto canvas when society expected her silence. These walls don’t just house paintings; they house possibilities. When our children walk through galleries, they’re not just observing – they’re absorbing the idea that human expression knows no boundaries. They’re learning that beauty can be found in the overlooked, that persistence can reshape perceptions, and that their own unique perspective matters deeply. Museums are where we show our children that the world is vast, complex, and waiting for their contribution. Each artifact whispers, “Someone like you changed everything.” Each painting declares, “Your voice matters too.” Each sculpture proclaims, “Dare to create something the world has never seen.” My hope is that we are not just raising children who appreciate art – we’re nurturing souls who understand that they too can paint outside the lines, challenge conventions, and leave something beautiful behind. The greatest gift we can give our children isn’t just showing them the world – it’s helping them see their place within it. 🤎 📸: @elizabethwellsphoto (cover photo)
