Which lead to the creation of a collaborative piece of Breastique Art using......

a boob!

Let's start off with a background story.

In January 2009 I hosted a housewarming party, inviting dear friends to bring their energy and love into my new home. Standing in the courtyard was a white canvas that guests were encouraged to paint to remind me of the great night we had. Throughout the evening, friends offered splashes of colour, shapes, stripes etc. A very cheeky friend in attendance chose to paint the canvas with her breasts; thus, creating quite a unique piece of art. Everyone was impressed by this random act of freedom and creativity and it created quite a buzz in the ensuring conversations of the evening.

For quite some time after, our close-knit group would talk about how fun and liberating it must have been to paint with breasts rather than a brush. I suggested that we all get together for a workshop where we BYO our own canvas, and paints and brushes to share, and do some breast art. There were inspired smiles and nodding of heads at this idea which spurred on my next suggestion: "How about we sell the breast art and proceeds can go to a breast cancer charity?" The crew responded with: "YEAH, LET'S DO THAT!" And so Breastique Art was born.

Many of us who brainstormed the Breastique Art concept could relate to breast cancer on a very personal level. We had all known someone who had died from breast cancer or had experienced it as part of their life for a period of time. My Aunt Marion died of breast cancer and my Grandmother Belle died of cervical cancer, so it is a concern for women in my family.

Breastique Art is a way of celebrating the uniqueness of women and the uniqueness of breasts. No two art pieces are the same, just like our breasts. We are all different shapes and sizes. And we are all beautiful in our uniqueness.
