LAURA CERWINSKE is an artist, altar maker, and author. A student of spiritual practice for more than thirty years, she has incorporated into her art a broad knowledge of metaphysics and the healing arts. Examples of her altars, icons, and artifacts appear in In a Spiritual Style (Thames and Hudson, New York, 1996) along with her essay on the “Evolution of Sacred Design” which traces the story of worship as it has been expressed in art, architecture, and design. Laura Cerwinske’s altars have been exhibited publicly and commissioned for private worship.
