Sheryl Light and Thomas Slattery pose in their new business, Open Studio.

WILMINGTON | Open Studio, a yoga and healing art studio, has opened on Military Cutoff Road, offering yoga , creative classes in drama and writing and even one-on-one life coaching.

The realized dream of artists Sheryl Light and Thomas Slattery, Open Studio is most definitely out of the box.

Sheryl Light was born and raised in Boston and graduated from art school with a degree in Fine Art. Mother of three boys, Light nurtured her passion for painting and became a certified yoga instructor and life coach.

California native Thomas Slattery spent more than a decade as a professional dancer, working in Paris and New York, before discovering yoga and settling on the East Coast.

As well as being a dancer and a yogi, Slattery is also a talented sculptor working with bronze, steel and

stone.

Merging their artistic visions and shared love of yoga, Slattery and Light co-create unique paintings, inspired by their focus on mind/body connection.

The innovative pair established their own art company 12 years ago called Cross Your Toes. It hosts their artwork and offers tailor-made paintings.

They meet with clients and collect stories from their lives, then work those details into the abstract painting. There may be an anniversary date hidden in the background or a favorite color dominating the image, the pair said.
