My art takes the viewer on a visual journey into the mind's eye. The mandalas that I create are influenced by tradition Buddhist mandalas and by the beauty that I find in nature and the energy that resides in all living things.
I sold this piece at the Spiral Cafe. It is the very first piece of art that anyone has purchased and it felt really good to know that it went to someone who truly loves and appreciates it.
My vision is to express what I see in my mind’s eye and to capture the beauty of what lies in the imagination using movement, symbols and vivid colour.
In addition to being a visual artist I am also a counsellor. I began painting in 2008 as a way of processing my experience with loss and transition. Painting is a form of meditation for me and is a beautiful way for me to maintain life balance.
I am inspired by the world around me which is so full of beauty – the natural world and the elements: earth, air, fire and water. The backgrounds of my paintings are like a beach covered in smooth round pebbles. I am also inspired by the symmetry and infinite nature of fractals and the related symbol of the spiral which is also found in so many places in nature.
When I began painting I also began practicing Kundalini yoga which has inspired many of my creations. Much of the inspiration that I receive to create each of my pieces comes from visualizations that I bring to mind during the gaps between thoughts that occur during yoga meditation.
