For anyone stopped by beauty.

Painted Prayers is a collaborative art-and-poetry book project by artist Hilary Saner and writer Cindy Myers. It brings together original artwork, poetry and contemplative reflection, inviting the reader to pause, notice and encounter the sacred within ordinary.

The handmade book shown here is an early prototype—one expression of what Painted Prayers could become. Hilary and Cindy are exploring ways the work might take shape in collaboration with the right publishing or creative partner.

Take a look inside the handmade prototype that helped bring the idea of Painted Prayers to life.

One idea. More than one possible form.

At its heart, Painted Prayers is an experience rather than a fixed format. It might become an art book, a collection of meditation cards, or another tactile publishing object entirely. The examples below explore a few possibilities—not finished products—and are intended to open the conversation about what the project could become with the right collaborator.
