Menstrual Art Movement
From Shame to Ritual through the Power of Art
AS SEEN ON
The Origin.
"When women remember to return their blood to the Earth, men will remember to cry and will no longer need to spill blood in war." - Hopi Prophecy
There once was a time when the world revered the bleed of a woman as a holy opening.
Young girls were embraced by the women of the village, taken into nature during the days and nights of her first bleed, and taught the mysteries of womanhood.
Temples were built to honor this sacred flow, and menstrual blood was celebrated as an ecstatic oracular channel.
The philosophy.
When we remember that our blood is sacred and ourwombs are sacred, we return to the magic and wisdom of our femininity. This alone can heal ourselves, our lineage, and the Earth itself.
The Menstrual Art Movement seeks to rekindle this ancient reverence, transforming the way we perceive and interact with menstrual blood.
The Movement Begins.
I began my journey with Menstrual Art in 2016, diving deep into my own experiences of pain and disconnection during my periods.
I felt shrouded in shame from menarche, until my breakthrough came when I combined the art of painting with plant medicine whilst on my cycle, changing my relationship with my menstruation forever.
Art, that had been my lifelong medium for self-exploration, found a new muse... menstrual blood.
And as I shared my blood paintings online, they started resonating with women worldwide, inspiring them to explore their own stories through this powerful medium.
Going viral and gaining recognition
My work over the years captured the attention of the global community, going viral, being featured in documentaries, and covered by major media outlets. Journalists began visiting my home, curious and compelled to share my story.
The impact of my art resonated not only with the general public but also with professionals across various fields—including midwives, doctors, therapists, and influencers within women's circles. As academic interest surged, students began dedicating their theses to exploring the impact and implications of menstrual art.
Today, I sell prints of my work through my online shop. These prints find their homes in sacred spaces, adorning walls in residential homes, offices, and therapy rooms. I am deeply moved by the thought that, one day, these pieces will be held in museums, continuing to challenge and reshape societal narratives around menstruation.
Impact and influence
My role is to bring menstruation into the realm of high art, where menstrual blood is no longer hidden or shamed, but honored, seen, and revered. These artworks are not only personal expressions, they are cultural artifacts destined to be viewed by the masses - shaping a new world order where women’s wombs and cycles are recognized as sacred sources of wisdom and power.
To embody this vision, I began holding transformational retreats called "FLESH OF THE WOMAN". In these sacred gatherings, women come together to return to the body, to rediscover the wisdom of their flesh, and to descend into the spiral of womb remembrance. We reconnect with sisterhood, with the Earth and with our deepest selves.
At the culmination of each retreat, we paint with our menstrual blood to seal our transformation. These collaborative artworks are then completed by me and preserved to be exhibited in major art galleries and museums worldwide becoming living prayers of change.
My vision is for this movement to reach every corner of the globe, reminding women of their inherent power and their birthright to be radiant, healthy, and fully alive.
