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 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 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 8-29-16
8/29/16 – “Manifestation, Learning and Growing” This was the first mandala that I created on a canvas.

Mandala 6-11-16
6-11-16 – “Oasis Amongst Chaos” I finished up this mandala shortly after I had just finished my second one. I was utilizing heavy sketch book paper, pencil and sharpie. I decided to utilize my compass on this one to create the circles. After I created the center (I always start in the center and work…

Mandala 6/5/16
6/5/16 – “Growth” “I wish you wouldn’t say things: that you don’t mean.” (Growth) Mandalas are circular designs that reflect the wholeness of the person creating them. According to Carl Jung, “a mandala is the psychological expression of the totality of self.” Jung a Swiss psychiatrist, discovered the significance of mandalas through his own inner…

Mandalas
I started creating mandalas in May of 2016. I knew a little bit about Carl Jung, psychology, and spiritual studies. I set out to create a mandala one day because I wanted to see what my “inner mind” looked like. I was deep into astrological studies at the time and had a real yearning to…
