For many years through much travel, exposure to different cultures and spirituality I have been exploring my creativity in the expression of mandalas. Originally with a background in landscape architecture and design I now work full time as an artist. My inspiration for my art is based on a strong connection with the earth - to the natural elements, and an exploration into the conscious and subconscious worlds - via dreams and meditation.
My works include a series of mandalas based on the Zodiac, Australian landscapes, the Seven Chakras, and the Major Arcana of the Tarot. All of these works are available as greeting cards and are distributed nationally within Australia.
As well as this I have created over 150 Personalised Mandalas for individuals and couples and am currently working on a series of figurative works on canvas titled "Dream Series". The Dream Series has proved popular with many ages and is continually growing. There are currently over 280 images within the series which have been reproduced into various products including prints, cards, jewellery and accessories.
