transforming soul whispers into mandalas and channeled messages of clarity, peace, and love
I love this piece! Created by local metalworks artist, Tamera Greiter, this piece vibrates with it’s strength, beauty and simplicity. I love how two of the mandalas are implied. In my mind’s eye I can see the rest of the circles. And then the red “mandala” pulls it all together bringing balance to a piece that would be lost with out. Even in the base, she incorporates two open “mandalas.”
In continuing my focus to showcase local (to me) paper artist on the MotD, I present Jeanne Heywood, of Sage Leaf Designs, who handcrafts these amazing paper puzzle boxes. What’s cool about this particular piece is that each of the individual pieces within this is a box in and of itself. AND…you can re-arrange the boxes three different ways…hence the puzzle part. Even the cover to this box is a work of art.
Corvallis painter and ceramic artist, Rebecca Arthur, created this beautiful mystical bowl. I love the mysteriousness of this piece. And get this…she paints with smoke and fire! Love the effect. I especially appreciate the “dot” on the right side with little light dots radiating out from it.
Here’s a fascination image created by Albany (oregon) photograph, Kurt Norlin, entitled “No Direction Home.” His process for this photo he describes as: mobile photography, photo expressionism, digital collage, iPod Touch, hipstamatic, circular+, snapseed.
I have been a big fan of Carolee Clark’s art since I first laid eyes on them. Hailing from our lovely Willamette Valley, Carolee creates energetic landscapes and delightful figure paintings that flow with vibrant colors and interesting shapes.
I found this gorgeous mandala-like sunflower painting by a wonderful local artist friend, Debby Sundbaum-Sommers, of http://www.DebsArt.net. As well as painting beautifully warm and inviting watercolor landscapes, she also creates dramatic landscape prints.
Today’s MotD comes to us via yet another amazingly talented local artist, Agnes Barton Sabo, a.k.a. Betty Turbo! She creates these delightfully fun, retro art pieces, including this one, containing some delectable combination of food, whimsey and a very creative imagination. Can you see all the mandala shapes in this piece?
