Week 34: On the Beach

To me the beach is one of the most peaceful places to be. It’s a place of constant movement; tides moving in and out, breezes blowing, and in the water the seaweed and kelp flow with the waves. This mandala started as a doodling; it’s when it was completed that it reminded me of the peaceful movement of kelp beneath the ocean surface.

Falcon Mandala Design

Week 31: Falcon

This was one of many mandalas created after my trip to Egypt with my husband in 1999. This one was inspired by King Tut’s falcon amulet. The design reminds me of the rising phoenix, a transformation from out of the ashes.

Week 26: Cosmic Sunflower

The “Cosmic Sunflower” mandala displays a simplified pattern (an oval with 8 protruding rays) repeated in fractal form in the upper and lower left sides of each ‘sunflower’, as it goes off the page into infinity.

Week 22: Wiggle Room

The Wiggle Room mandala is one of a series of 21 asymmetry mandalas created over a 3-week period in autumn 2007. It consists of seven vertical wavy lines and twelve horizontal straight lines. My asymmetry mandalas come about by drawing in-the-moment inspired doodles.

Week 20: Fish

The Fish mandala is one of a series of 21 asymmetry mandalas created over a 3-week period in autumn 2007. It consists of nine vertical straight lines and five diagonal wavy lines. My asymmetry mandalas come about by drawing in-the-moment inspired doodles.
