Hi, my name is Allison Schaaf, my own fertility journey, including 5 miscarriages, inspired me to create this website to help YOU navigate your own fertility journey.
In this article I share ideas for honoring miscarriage and infant loss through art. Miscarriage art can be a lovely gift for a friend or loved one, or to purchase for yourself as a meaningful miscarriage memorial. The list includes items like custom drawings, paintings representing angel babies and art prints incorporating your baby’s ultrasound photo or heartbeat.
From art prints using an ultrasound photo to custom drawings of your angel baby, miscarriage art is a meaningful way to honor your loss.
