Pregnancy Celebrated
A project to celebrate pregnant womens amazing bodies.
What it’s all about…
It all begins with a simple but important idea. Mine is that I want all women to feel seen, heard and really celebrated at key life transitions. This creative endeavor aims to do that for pregnant women.
What’s Pregnancy Celebrated about?
I work with pregnant and postnatal women on a daily basis. Supporting them to navigate pregnancy, birth and motherhood in their own way. With a greater trust in their bodies, their instincts, and confidence in themselves. It’s powerful work.
I see the transition to motherhood (Matrescence) as the ultimate creative act. Creating new life - how could that not be?
This project gives me an interface between my passion and work in supporting women, and my experience, creativity and passion for art and design.
It's a visual celebration of women at a pivotal time of their lives.
How you can be part of it…
I’m looking for inspiration and muses. I want as many amazing women and bumps as possible to feel seen and celebrated by being a part of this project.
So I’d love you to upload a photo of your pregnant self that I can add to my library of images to use in the hand-cut collages.
You can be anonymous and not have your face seen in the work - just let me know
Be part of this celebration of pregnancy project. Please upload your own photo(s) here: https://forms.gle/tvdusuPyDzAGZh776
