Over the course of three years, Vanessa Tiegs created 88 paintings to affirm the bright red cycle -- the hidden forbidden monthly renewal process. She has called her paintings Menstrala.
Vanessa has donated proceeds from the sale of some of her prints and originals to
The Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research at the University of British Columbia.

In her latest series of mixed media works,
Menstrala Romanticized,
Vanessa's Menstrala are re-represented within her photographs.
