MERAKI

 

 

Every mandala I create is completely hand-drawn, making each one a true original!!!

 

I begin by using everyday bowls as guides to build the geometry, then bring each design to life freehand with intricate patterns and details. 

Sustainability is an important part of my process, so each piece is created on recycled wood sourced from around my home, prepared with a gesso base.

The colors come from a cherished set of recycled watercolors I've had since childhood, giving each artwork a personal history. 

The bold designs are drawn with an oil-based Sharpie, while the finer details are completed using art pens and a white gel pen to add depth, contrast, and delicate highlights.

Each finished mandala is sealed with a protective finishing spray, making it relatively water-resistant while helping preserve the artwork for years to come.

Every piece carries its own unique character, created entirely by hand with care, creativity, and a love for giving new life to forgotten materials.
