The mandala is a sacred circle and within that circle is considered sacred space. As I step into the circles I create, they become a journey to my heart, to my truth, to my spiritual center. The completed mandala is a record of that journey.

The healing process of creating mandalas was profoundly life changing after learning on 9/11 that I had cancer. When I was able to paint again, I was flooded with images of flowers, plants and animals overlaid with sacred geometry, and I wasn’t always sure of their meaning. The mandalas supported me as I cleared the negative voices from my past, opening me to new ways of being.
