Since 2014 I have been interested in practicing meditation and yoga, in recent years I have found a natural progression towards making meditative art. I learnt that by soothing my own mind by working this way, I could possibly make a positive impact on others who view my work, this was enough of a reason to give my work deeper meaning and purpose.

I became intrigued by the Mandala and the reasons behind its phenomena, the therapeutic benefits were apparent from the start. I practiced making a few which turned into 8 months of work. The repetitive nature and rotating patterns worked well to calm my mind, being able to switch off and relax and get totally absorbed in my work.

Whenever I feel like I need to unwind, then I go back to the Mandala. By creating that bit of ‘Me time’, drawing and painting often whilst listening to soothing music, I soon find myself feeling much happier, calmer and full of inspiration.
