Nature Mandalas ~ Merging Art, Science, and Ancient Wisdom 

In Sanskrit, a Mandala translates as "circle," and it is typically a geometric pattern used in Spiritual practices to focus the mind during meditation or to create a sacred space. Mandalas have a calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body, relieving stress and anxiety, increasing one's appreciation for nature, and facilitating a connection with one's spiritual self. 
With this project, I aimed to develop a new expression and form for my art. I designed these Mandalas using the nature prints I've been preserving in my library of silkscreens for over 30 years. Each piece required between 12 and 20 screenings, which is very challenging to achieve without making a mistake and needing to start over. 
I completed each piece with colored pencil details and drawings woven throughout, in keeping with a theme.

ORIGINAL still available! Our framed mandalas are presented in a stunning double mat custom-cut with a circular center and framed in gold. They're available for purchase, provided you can arrange for pickup or pay for shipping.
