Artist Statement: Similar to walking a labyrinth, making and meditating on a mandala is both a journey inward to a center point representing the creative energy of God and a journey back outward into the cosmos. The process leads me to a place of stillness, clarity, and balance. I emerge feeling a deeper connectedness to myself, to creation and to the Creator.
The urge to make a mandala comes to me during times of personal and spiritual growth. The symbols, colors and overall form of a mandala hold insights and guidance for both the artist and the viewer.
