Hein Koh is undoubtedly a supermom and an incredibly talented artist [1]. After giving birth to twins in May 2015, she made the decision that she wasn't going to let motherhood come between her career and following her dreams [2]. In fact, Koh believes it made her a better person.
In a recent post on Facebook, she opened up about the realities of motherhood [3], and although it's challenging, she maintains she's also a stronger artist because of it.
"Becoming a #mom (of twins no less) has personally helped me become a better #artist — I learned to be extremely efficient with my time, prioritize what's important and let go of the rest, and #multitask like a champ. I learned to function (even if barely) on very little sleep, and out of the chaos, insanity and even torture at times, a flood of new emotions entered into my work, becoming more interesting & layered as a result. What I'm saying is that parenting is like any other challenge in life — the biggest f*cking challenge in my own life thus far — and if you embrace it and figure out creative solutions, you can emerge a better person. It's important to think about the ways in which these challenges can help you move forward, rather than hold you back."
