Roving Photographer
If you’ve visited the Wynwood Walls in Miami, you can’t miss Peter Tunney’s high-trafficked bright and colorful gallery space. One of New York City’s best kept secrets is The Peter Tunney Experience, the artist’s open and free expansive gallery and archives at 83 Leonard Street in Tribeca. Our roving photographer, Nicole Freezer Rubens takes us a tour today.
In 1987 Tunney left the financial world and declared himself an artist. Since then he has worked tirelessly creating dynamic art filled equally with found collectable objects, text and imagery from newspapers and magazines and inspirational messages through text. Some of his repeated phrases are Fear Less Love More and Gratitude, playfully combining gratitude and attitude. Nicole says, “My favorite pieces on view are the time capsules. I love seeing the eclectic found objects from the common to the absurd, paired with the layered, painted and collaged images. Definitely pay a visit and live the lively Peter Tunney experience. Nicole is the author of The Long Pause and the Short Breath. Follow her on Instagram@nfrconsult.

Feb. 12. A Workshop That Will Help You Attract What You Want
In this live online workshop, with world renown energy healer, Aleta St. James, will create a healing vortex of Violet Light for you to enter. As celestial music plays, Aleta will guide you through her cellular healing process. You will then be transported to connect deeply into the core of your subconscious belief systems that form the matrix of your cellular memory. Past traumas, negative imprints, and distorted perceptions of your value and who you are will come into your conscious mind.
She will then transmit energy to accelerate your ability to release these blocks, clear and shift your focus to reach your highest spiritual self, and connect to the truth of who you are and all that you can be. You will have a deeper understanding of your deservablity factor, allowing you to amp up your ability to attract all you desire and deserve. In this group setting, Aleta can tune into each, and everyone’s pending issues. Throughout this transformational journey, you will feel like she is working specifically with you. Join the vortex and “Rev Up The Power Of Your Magnetic Attraction!” GET THE DETAILS.

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
