Tapestries of Light are hand-sewn meditational works of art that evoke the beauty of light on water. A celebration of light, both physical and in the human spirit, the Tapestries of Light began with a fascination in the luminescence of satin and have evolved into an exploration of consciousness. Standing in front of one inspires a magnificent feeling of serenity and peace. As if a weight you didn't know was there has been lifted.
Mini Mandalas are a series of watercolor paintings that I have been doing for a long time. Like their big brothers, the Tibetan sand mandalas, they are works of meditation in their own smaller and simpler way. Vivid colors and symmetrical unfurlings from a center point bring the viewer a restful moment of peace, as if they are portals to our deeper selves. When I paint them, the knowledge of their elders’ focus on impermanence keeps me company, and life becomes precious in the knowledge that it will not last.
