As with most of my paintings of late, I go in without any preconceived ideas as to color choices. I paint the “next” section that catches my eye and I use the color that either pops into my head, or the one I see when I look over at my paints, or the one that feels like it wants to be in that particular section. It’s a step-by-step process.
I use Holbein, Golden, and M. Graham acrylics paints, matte medium, and gel pens on Canson mixed media paper.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
