Mandala 2 06/27/23
“In flight” I’ll admit it. Airplanes make me nervous. Do I push through? Absolutely.

Mandala 6/27/23
“Waiting for departure” A delayed flight, coupled with a fierce determination to do something productive; one sketch pad, a pack of colorful gel pens, and a novel later, I sat down to read. A few chapters of “Cloud Cuckoo Land” (by Anthony Doerr) later, filled with growing anticipation, I shifted to the sketch pad. I…

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 gap in time where I did not produce any artwork, other than a few doodles on sticky notes. The time-frame between September 2017 – April 2018 was filled quite a test of the person. It wasn’t until I had a different change of…

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 4-1-17
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 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…

Mandala 9-10-16
8-10-16 “Formless” Something about color vs. black and white really seems to bother me. I can’t wrap my head around it really. This was done in an orange/red sharpie and a fine tip black one. My favorite part about this piece is the staircase located underneath the lower “swirl.” The rest of it just doesn’t…

Mandala 8-29-16
8/29/16 – “Manifestation: Learning and Growing” This was the first mandala that I created on a canvas. I realized that sharpie performs wonderfully well on this type of medium and it looks even more sharp than the drawing paper I was using previously. The intention I set for this mandala was “Manifestation, Learning and Growing.”…
