Duckworth recalls her mother’s art going unnoticed in their home

What was said

""Sometimes I would paint something like cuz I would find like a stolen hour on the side, you know, between lunch and dinner and uh and I would put it up on the wall and nobody would say anything. And especially your father, like he would walk by a new painting for months and not say anything because he didn't notice.""

Dr Angela Duckworth recalls her mother saying she painted in brief moments while raising a family, but her work often went unremarked at home, especially by Duckworth’s father. Duckworth adds that her family did not regularly engage with art, such as visiting museums.
