"In Augusta MO, earlier this year (2009), I took part in a great, 11 day plein-air event. One morning with a few minutes to spare, I wandered into an Antique shop in the middle of town. To my delight, everywhere I looked, there was a still life just waiting for me. My time was limited so I pulled out my trusty little digital camera and clicked away. This is the 1st in my series from this antique shop reference. I liked the drippy underpainting so much that I decided to leave it. The dishes are very colorful and seem to pop off the canvas."

"Layers and layers of paint. That's what draws me to this painting.The vase and flowers I set up were kind of boring. It started out to be a simple, pretty little painting. But it needed some umph. So I just loaded up my palette and started slathering on lots of paint.The result, an exciting, powerful floral painting."

This one-night-only event will include a small sampling of works by several artists in the exhibition, a bathroom installation by Jennifer Weigel and a silent auction including artworks by local artists, a Luna Pads intro kit & two certificates towards The Keeper menstrual cup products.
Life Blood Exhibit is a group art show coordinated by Jennifer Weigel and themed around menstruation that will travel to various venues throughout the St. Louis metro region from 2010 – 2011 and then travel nationally from 2011 – 2012. Each showing will highlight different artists in the group. This traveling art show features thirteen St. Louis women artists exploring the theme of menstruation, from menarche to motherhood to menopause and more. Some works are humorous while others are serious, but all are thought-provoking. Please see the shows, join in the conversation, and help break the taboo!

By drawing attention to the female body and to the menstrual cycle, artists are able to comment on this life-giving aspect of womanhood and to celebrate and/or show their discontent with their own bodies & cycles. We are able to offer commentary on experience, confront stereotypes & assumptions and educate one another about things too often left unsaid. Thus we can explore the positive & negative to turn around preconceptions and help break the taboo surrounding menstruation.Life Blood Exhibit is sponsored in part by The Keeper, Inc., the leader and most trusted & recognized name in the industry, manufacturing menstrual cups since 1987. http://www.keeper.com/
