Mandala

The artist’s interest in mandalas dates back to her childhood when her first introduction and coloring of a mandala happened at age 10. Her current original pen and ink drawings reflect a mindful, repetitive, meticulous craftsmanship which helps one focus-in or concentrate. The mandala is an instrument of religious reverence, psychological growth, self-healing, artistic inspiration, and a powerful meditative source. Mandalas are found in ancient Tibetan, Aztec, and Native American designs, spanning the continents and the centuries. The word literally means center and circle.
