January KAEA Book Club Pick

We hope you will join us January 15th for the next KAEA Book Club meeting!

KAEA Book Club Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough, Sunday, January 15th, 7 PM on zoom. The cover of the book as well as paintings by Artemisia Gentileschi are shown on top of a painted background


Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough is the next pick for #kaeabookclub and a zoom discussion is planned for Sunday January 15th! 


Her mother died when she was twelve, and suddenly Artemisia Gentileschi had a stark choice: a life as a nun in a convent or a life grinding pigment for her father's paint.

She chose paint.

By the time she was seventeen, Artemisia did more than grind pigment. She was one of Rome's most talented painters, even if no one knew her name. But Rome in 1610 was a city where men took what they wanted from women, and in the aftermath of rape Artemisia faced another terrible choice: a life of silence or a life of truth, no matter the cost.

He will not consume
my every thought.
I am a painter.
I will paint.

Joy McCullough's bold novel in verse is a portrait of an artist as a young woman, filled with the soaring highs of creative inspiration and the devastating setbacks of a system built to break her. McCullough weaves Artemisia's heartbreaking story with the stories of the ancient heroines, Susanna and Judith, who become not only the subjects of two of Artemisia's most famous paintings but sources of strength as she battles to paint a woman's timeless truth in the face of unspeakable and all-too-familiar violence.

I will show you
what a woman can do.
