Week 12: Portal

While doing a personalized mandala, this design came to me with the intention that it be a gift for all to experience. It is designed to be used as a meditation tool in order to access our own inner guidance deep within ourselves. Many portals exist within the design so that each time you meditate on it you can focus on a different section, each time providing a different experience.

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 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 2: Music Hall

The Music Hall Mandala came about from a doodle meditation session. When I first looked down at the paper, I saw the center piece in my mind’s eye and just started drawing what I saw. Then the rest just evolved on its own…with each line drawn seeming to inspire the next line.
