Artists' Corner

Spiritual art is inspiring, healing and thought provoking. In this section you will find a selection of the work of area artists.

Roughly every other month we'll introduce the spiritual art of a new local artist with a page devoted just to their work. This page will introduce you to the artist and you can view a sampling of their work. We'll connect back to their website where you can see more of their work and, if interested, learn how to purchase items. We encourage you to support our area artists and artwork makes great gifts.

We are just getting started, but as new artists are introduced we'll add to the section and over time should build a good collection of artworks by area artists. We'll introduce each new artists in our monthly newsletter.

Leanne Peters was formally trained as a medical illustrator, having earned her BA from the Rochester Institute of Technology. This background helped her to appreciate the mystery and complexity of life which she brings to her spiritual artwork. She is as comfortable with a computer as with a pencil and does graphic design for both commercial and holistic clients. She is Art Director of The Door Opener and contributed to the design of Conscious CT. Her artwork is available in print, bookmark and greeting card formats.

Meg Peterson is the owner of Meg's, an inspirational and spiritual boutique in Manchester. She loves art, dancing and cooking; the gifts that keep her centered. Artistically Meg expresses herself through painting, stained glass and jewelry making. She feels her brush is the instrument that allows energy and enthusiasm to flow through her; allowing the beauty to come out. Meg's store is an expression of her art.
