Susan and Michael McPeak celebrated Old Town’s BluesFest with the grand opening of their gallery, the McPeak Healing Gallery and Ananda Soup.
The 3,000 square foot gallery area and 1,000 square foot studio are housed inside of the 20,000 square foot Old Town Medical Arts building on North Cedar Street.
“As soon as they gave us a tour of the building, we fell in the love with the space,” Susan says.
Michael McPeak's work was in the building before he and Susan decided to place a studio and gallery in the building. Peak creates silk giclee, a concept that involves printing photographs on a silk-like canvas.
“I tend to be more concerned with the inner life of what I’m taking a photo of as opposed to surface qualities,” Michal says. “It straddles the area between photography and painting.”
The McPeak Healing Gallery and Ananda Studio was designed to represent bliss, which is the meaning of “ananda.”
“We’ve really been blessed in this life and we want to share what Michael does with his art and his photography and share that beauty with other people.”
