Orleans, MA (PRWEB) November 4, 2006 -- Welstar is proud to host The Art & Spirit of Rabbit.

Welstar patrons will be able to view Rabbit's spirit paintings throughout the spa's common areas and treatment rooms after the shows opening night.

Rabbit's earliest Spirit Paintings, as they have come to be known originated from her own connections with nature, meditation and yoga. When asked to create them for others, she developed a meditation technique to attune herself to the spiritual energy of a person -- either through a photograph, telephone conversation, or visit. As she continues to contemplate and reflect on that energy she begins painting.

Always evocative of the individual for whom they are created, the Spirit Paintings, vary in design, color and intensity. With exquisite detail, the paintings mirror unique facets of a person being.
