Jeannine Moeder is inspired by travel, yoga and meditation. She utilizes a combination of acrylics, ink, photographs, paper and textiles in her light-filled mixed-media art. Insight and peace are evoked from her work which evolves from an intuitive process of editing and layering photos from travel experience that has expanded her consciousness and mind while inspiring others to create and connect to their higher selves. Her artwork has landed in private collections, events, shows, retail shops and galleries including: Soulscape, Soul of Yoga, Earth's Elements in Encinitas, Laguna and Hermosa Beach and L.E.A.F- Live Enlightened and Free as well as wellness, meditation and yoga centers worldwide. Jeannine has also been a designer of jewelry, floral and events.
