17-36: The Astrological Sign of Taurus Mandala
In 2012 I created a series of Hyperbolic Tessellation Mandalas for the 12 signs of Astrology. I self-published them into … More
Week 30: Council of Twelve
“Council of Twelve” “Whenever two or more are gathered as one, the possibilities are endless.” I created two full-color versions … More
Week 27: Shine On
The overall look of this mandala reminds me of a star portal, a stargate, that is fully open, allowing us a view of a world with two suns. The vertical square tube feels like a place where you could jump into, like jumping into a worm hole.
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 25: True Heart
“True Heart” “I love, honor, and respect all that I am” I created one full-color version using color pencils: This … More
Week 24: Flare
“Flare” “In my stillness, comes my peace and joy” I created one full-color version using markers: While meditating and thinking … More
Week 21: Ahna
“Ahna” “There is peace in knowing that you are always there for me” For this mandala design, I created three … More
Week 19: Tut
This mandala was inspired by the decorative lid of a large alabaster box belonging to King Tut. I loved the multiple rows of detailed patterns which all lent itself even better in a circular mandala form.
Week 16: Star Power
Many of my mandalas are created by just putting pencil to paper, free of any preconceived idea or design. They seemed to create themselves on the paper before my eyes. For “Star Power” I started with a simple pattern in the middle and it just grew from there.
Week 15: Oh Tannenbaum
This is the first of my annual winter holiday mandalas. My initial idea was to place 12 trees around the circle with their tops touching a multi-faceted star in the center and each sharing ornaments at the ends of their branches.
Week 14: Butterfly
While walking one day I came across a dead, fully-intact, butterfly on the ground. I carefully picked it up and brought it home with the intention of creating a butterfly mandala based on its markings.
Week 10: Crystalite
I created this design as part of a ‘Call To Artist’ event for the 2004 da Vinci Days poster contest. The design started as an abstract image of a tree (or as others have described it: the Star Trek communicator pin the crew wear). I wanted to repeat that pattern 12 times, putting one behind the other and 30 degrees to the left. Similar to when you take a stack of napkins and twist down on them to fan them around.
Week 7: Garden Delight
This hyperbolic tessellation mandala features turquoise flowers and orange butterflies, with purple bodies and blue orbs on their wings; all of which help to make a garden delightful…hence the name “Garden Delight”. I used fine-point markers to color this version of Garden Delight.
Week 5: Sacred Geometry
After several years of creating mandalas, I learned of the mathematical phenomenon of the golden mean or golden ratio (phi) which can be found everywhere, especially in nature…
Week 4: Vivian
In 1999, while at the shore in Jensen Beach, Florida, I was thinking of my friend, Vivian, and the image of this mandala came to mind. I drew the outline right there on the beach.
Week 3: Sacred
Week 3: Sacred Mandala: “From my center comes my joy. From my center comes my truth.
Let me connect with my sacred center.”
