Show Description:

“Soul Seeds” is a spiritual exploration of creativity through the concept of mandala.  “Mandala” is the ancient Sanskrit word meaning “circle” and can be found all throughout nature and culture.  Simple or intricate, the patterns of mandalas are usually revealed as an integrated structure organized around a unifying center.  The mandalas of this show are mixed media, with most of them pen & ink.  They each represent a meditation, a journey, and an evolution of the soul of an artist captured in a moment in time.
