I had my first powerful encounter with Mary in a dream, which I wanted to paint. That felt like an awfully tall order and I was hesitant to try. Eventually, Connecting with Mary was my first attempt, inspired from the images of the virgin I saw in my art history books. I was puzzled by the images which
kept coming to me, as Mary did not play a big role in my religious upbringing. These mandalas are some of the images I received. See my blog for stories about these paintings: The Appearance of the Divine Mother
