transforming soul whispers into mandalas and channeled messages of clarity, peace, and love
Ever since I first laid eyes on the phantasmagorical mixed media collages of Philomath artist Judith Sanders, I became one of her biggest fans. Wow! It first it may seem like this painting is overloaded and yet it’s so delightful to just be with it and take it all in.
What a beautiful dish! Philomath kilnformed glass artist, Sara Morrissey, of Morrissey Glass Art, created this delightful piece of art that … More
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.
Along with being an amazing artist and printmaker, I’m happy to showcase Willamette Valley (local) artist, Gale Everett, who creates these fantastic 3D sculptures that I just love. This one especially…look at all those mandalas! She made this one with waxed mulberry paper cones, wire and a hemlock frame. It definitely sparks the imagination…or rather, brain. 🙂
Today I showcase a local artist and friend out of Alpine, Oregon. Jewelry artisan, Jan O’Banion, of Jan E O Jewelry, forged this powerful jasper and German silver pendant loaded with mandala-like shapes. I love the vibrant red of the jasper seeming to be protected within the dramatic silver cocoon.
