I teach various 6-week classes in Santa Cruz County—all of them about learning watercolor, mandala-making and painting from the heart. Some of the classes include Nature Mandalas, Flower Mandalas, Gifts from The Heart, Capturing The Light in Mandalas, Gratitude or Kindness Mandalas. I also teach 1 or 2-day workshops in various locations. Watch the schedule for the latest classes and workshops. I would be happy to discuss the possibility of my teaching a workshop in your area.

Course Description
Why create mandalas? Because they are transformative, balancing, centering and bring forth our inner wisdom. They can lift our spirits, open our hearts, and stimulate our creative flow. They can create good energy for ourselves and the world!
Let’s explore images of the Divine Feminine and ancient goddesses and paint mandalas of our own feminine attributes. This can help balance both male and female energies within ourselves and on earth. These attributes can include: mother earth and nature, the moon, motherhood, nurturing, creativity, intuition, acceptance and compassion.
All are welcome to join our creative circle where we paint from our hearts. Learn the basics of watercolor and mandala making in a fun, playful and supportive group. This class is one-of-a-kind!
A Suggested Material’s List is available in “HAND OUTS.”
Bring to First class: A picture of your grandmother

We will explore painting the deeper ESSENCE of flowers in mandalas with different geometric patterns, from those growing from a single point or “oneness,” to those growing with 2 petals,“Twoness,” “Threeness,” “Fourness,”etc. Our medium is watercolor. We will learn the basics of watercolor, sacred geometry and mandalas in a fun and unique class, one like no other! We paint from our hearts! Join our Circle which is open to both newcomers and experienced alike.
A Suggested Material’s List is available in “HAND OUTS.”
Bring to First class: A flower with a center growing from a single point (calla lily) or any flower, bulb or seed in which you see “Oneness” speaking to you. Looking online is fine too.

Your mandala classes have supported through a grueling time. Thank you for being such a knowledgeable and inspiring teacher. It was your own mandala art that drew me initially to your classes. Your work is exquisitely fine, it is healing and supportive and it is sacred.
