It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a local business owner is joining the fight in a very creative way. Manayunk native and internationally known artist Sandy O and her company Creative Juice Group are presenting a Breast Cancer awareness painted body shoot on Wednesday October 26th at their studio in Bridgeport, PA.
They will be painting women as well as a drag queen for this shoot. All models will be naked from the waist up. Aspiring performance artists of all stripes who would like to help increase awareness and wish to be painted are also encouraged to contact Creative Juice Group.
I recently asked Sandy O what she does and her response was “I paint naked people”. Therefore this event is a perfect fit in the fight against an awful disease. But it’s also very personal. Sandy O has not only witnessed her own mother’s courageous battle with Breast Cancer, but has also been recently diagnosed with it herself. Having spoken to her, I can tell you that she’s clearly not backing down from the fight.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of women and men are diagnosed with breast cancer. By the end of 2011, the Komen Foundation estimates there will be 38,520 breast cancer-related deaths in the United States alone. Sandy O and the other talented professional artists at Creative Juice Group remain committed to the fight.
The event will take place all day long on Wednesday with the final photos taking place around 7:00pm when all the models will be painted and ready for a grand finale shot.
Perhaps you can join them and help in the battle against Breast Cancer? Maybe you’ve seen the painted on baseball jersey’s such as the CJG model featured here? Well here’s the perfect event to attend, see how it’s done and join the cause!
As the staff at the Creative Juice Group said, “We can’t wait to bare our boobs for a good cause.”
Bravo Sandy O!
