How an Artist’s Invitation to Shanghai Can Inspire Your Fertility Journey

Posted on 09 July 2025 by Marcus Williams — 3 min

Ever felt like your fertility journey needs a little spark of hope from the most unexpected places? Well, let me tell you about something that might just change the way you view your path to parenthood.

Recently, I stumbled upon an incredible story that seemed worlds away from fertility but felt strangely connected to the rollercoaster emotions so many of us face when trying to conceive. It’s about Kelly Beeman, a renowned artist who just opened her first solo exhibition in China, in the bustling city of Shanghai. The show is called Invitation, and it’s been catching eyes and hearts at Perrotin Shanghai.

Now, you might be wondering, what does an art exhibit have to do with fertility? More than you think.

Kelly Beeman’s work is about invitation—inviting viewers into worlds of emotion, imagination, and vulnerability. She spent countless mornings in her Brooklyn studio, gently refining her canvases, adding touches that made her message intimate and personal. It reminds me so much of the fertility journey: full of hope, small adjustments, and moments of patience and tenderness.

Why does this matter to you? Because just like Kelly’s art, your path to conception is a deeply personal invitation—to yourself, to your partner, and sometimes to a future little one you’re dreaming of. This realization opened my eyes to the beauty and power in every step we take, whether it’s a doctor's appointment, a cycle tracked, or using at-home insemination methods at your own pace.

Speaking of at-home options, did you know there are innovative kits designed just for people like us, who want to take control of their fertility experience in the comfort and privacy of home? MakeAMom, for example, offers highly specialized insemination kits tailored to different needs—whether you’re dealing with low sperm motility, frozen sperm, or sensitivities like vaginismus. It’s like your own little private art studio to create life—in a way that feels right for you.

If you’re curious, here’s a subtle nudge to explore more about these options: a thoughtfully designed at-home intracervical insemination syringe kit that empowers many to bring their dreams to life without the clinical overwhelm.

But back to Kelly’s invitation—her art exhibition is a reminder that sometimes, the most profound moments come from trusting the process, embracing vulnerability, and inviting possibilities our minds haven’t yet imagined.

So, how can you bring this mindset into your fertility journey?

See your path as a personal canvas. Each cycle, each method, each moment of hope or waiting adds color and texture.
Invite support and community. Share your story, lean on those who understand, and celebrate every step forward.
Embrace innovative tools. Whether medical or at-home, tools like MakeAMom’s kits can be game-changers that match your unique needs.
Allow room for vulnerability. Just as an artist reworks a canvas, be gentle with yourself when things don’t go as planned.

Reading about Kelly’s first solo show abroad reminded me that invitations aren’t just about art or events—they’re about opening doors within ourselves to hope, courage, and new beginnings. That’s the energy I want to carry forward for anyone on this journey: that your fertility story is a masterpiece in the making.
