For me, mandalas are a doodling meditation. I often create them while alone in public spaces . Whether drawing in my sketchbook or using materials form my surroundings, through the ordered predictability of each layer, my mind moves toward calm. I also find mandalas to be an exercise in decision making and commitment....once you lay it down, you gotta go all around!! My radially-symmetric, blossoming patterns are inspired by the geometry of organic forms.
