I began creating mandalas many years ago, both as a result of my own meditation practice and a desire to integrate my art making into that practice. Rather than traditional symbols or deities, my mandalas focus on kaleidoscopic details of nature which are often mandalas in their own right.
“Homage al Huichol”
Moving back and forth from the mandala work to my other paintings allows me a visual flexibility in my art practice that spills over into my life helping me to become more spontaneous in my daily experiences.
