Mandalas
Each morning, with a cup of coffee in hand, I sit on my front porch and spend about 30 minutes drawing a new mandala — an intricate, symmetrical design that symbolizes balance, harmony, and mindfulness. This quiet ritual has become my way of starting the day with focus and creativity. I share these unique, hand-drawn mandalas several times a week on social media, inviting you to follow along and experience the calming beauty they bring.
If you don’t see the mandala you’re looking for in my Etsy store, just reach out — I can send it directly to you or arrange a print at a very reasonable price.
Technique
In this one-minute video, you’ll see me begin a mandala the same way I do each morning on my front porch — with a piece of quality watercolor paper, a few black pens, and four simple circles. I never start with a plan, concept, or expectation; instead, I let the lines and shapes guide me, allowing the mandala to take form organically. Each drawing is an unhurried meditation, unfolding one stroke at a time.
