In my most recent mandalas, which are small – about 7 1/2" square – I incorporated a word in the painting, something I had been wanting to do for a long, long time. All the words represent the messages I asked for and received as part of my continued healing work. They were like answers to prayers from spirit and kept me connected, reminding me that I could do that. Most of the mandalas have sacred geometry patterns – symbols representing how we are all connected to nature and to the light. They are also representative of nature as healer.
