Threads of Connection: My Mandala Journey

​A mandala is a beautiful geometric arrangement of symbols that serves as a powerful tool for meditation and spiritual focus. My journey with mandalas began during my 25 years of yoga practice, where I found their calming essence transformative. 

Creating this piece was an intuitive evolution. It started as a sculptural mandala on a larger canvas, but when the proportions felt off, I carved it out and placed it on a smaller canvas, enhancing its visual impact. Crafted from organic, foraged materials and plaster, I let the intense Utah sun bake my creation, infusing it with nature’s energy. 

This marks my first mandala on canvas, and I’m thrilled with the result. In a delightful twist of fate, I also discovered that my first cousin (twice removed), the renowned Brazilian artist Livio Abramo, created a mandala engraving. Was it coincidence? Perhaps, but it feels like a beautiful connection across generations.
