During pregnancy, ultrasound scans are the only way we have to "spy" on what's going on in there. They have a medical function, to control the monitoring of pregnancy and the development of the baby, but they also have an important emotional component as they are the means that parents have to see their baby moving inside the womb.
We usually keep ultrasound as a reminder of pregnancy, but there is a more original and beautiful way to do it. Laura Steerman, an Irish mother with three children turn ultrasound into beautiful abstract paintings to hang on your wall.
The 35-year-old artist works as a lawyer, but her true passion is painting, to which she dedicates all the time she can in her project called Quaint Baby Ultrasound Art.
He started to create these ultrasonic paints from the pregnancies of his own daughters. The ultrasounds were too small to hang on the wall, and also have hardly any color, (usually black and white or the most modern in sepia).
Then it occurred to him to give a turn to the traditional ultrasound to turn them into a burst of color, paintings that excite and at the same time are a precious memory, ideal for decorating the baby's room or a special place in the house.
