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, and 13 of those 88 Menstrala are currently available for gallery showings. Vanessa donates proceeds from the sale of originals and color prints to The Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research at the University of British Columbia.
