Mandala 01/08/23
It’s been years since I have created, much less finished a mandala. My preferred medium of the past would have been sharpie on canvas or paper. Upon entering the local Michael’s something different came to mind. I picked up a pack of black canvases to my own astonishment, in addition to some white paint pens…

Mandala 2017
Mandala – “By the River” 2017 This mandala is the only color piece I have created to date. Way back when art was my major, I enjoyed using acrylic paint. I figured I’d start painting color backgrounds and creating the mandala on top. Another plan came into fruition though, especially in regard to the “background.”…

Mandala 6-20-18
6-20-18 “The pinnacle of living” I drew this mandala after moving back home from the relationship I thought was going somewhere. I was somehow still in an excellent place spiritually and mentally, and I actually felt more clear minded than ever before. The center of this mandala is actually a teeny tiny dodecahedron. This is…

Mandala 4-17-18
4-17-18 “A new start” As with my previous post, there is a huge gap in time that I did not produce any artwork other than a few doodles on sticky notes. The time-frame between September 2017 – April 2018 was filled with a excruciating journey and test of character. I had been attending yoga teacher…

Mandala 9-22-17
9-22-17 “The Equinox” You may have noticed the huge gap in mandala creation from June to September, 2017. I was going through a lot in that three months, the most I have actually gone through mentally, emotionally, and physically in my entire waking life. I had left off at the last mandala creation in June…

Mandala 5-9-17
“Love and Crisis” – Mandalas drawn in the midst of crisis always seem to be the most interesting. I can recall my exact mental state and where I was when adding to each of these rings. When I had created the center outwards the flower like petals, I was in a relationship, yet concerned something…

Mandala 4-16-17
4-16-17 – “Introversion” This is a really small mandala, about 4 x 6. The pen that I was using kept giving up on me so I had to put a few to work on this one. I notice that this one shows rightward movement as the previous one I had done from my own collection…

Mandala 4-1-17
4-1-17 *Created for a friend. My intention was expressing my friend in this art-form* Where to start with this one. From the center emanates a cross, and sections of three in each arm; pyramids and the scorpio symbol above them. The pyramids also seem to have an eye placed at the top. This section then…

Mandala 3-13-17
3-13-17 – “Stepping Down” I absolutely love this piece looking back on it at a different time. When I created it, as with most that I create, I become dissatisfied midway through, doubting my abilities, doubting my connection. Recently, I had read a book that covered some of Carl Jungs’ observations of mandalas. When…

Mandala 1-22-17
1-22-17 – “Unity” This piece holds a lot of symbolism. The middle part came easily for me and I love how it had a quality of movement to it. However, once I completed the black ring, I became dissatisfied with the whole thing and almost moved on. Somehow I brought it back from there, however…
