This mandala painting comes from a practice I’ve kept for the past six years. I begin with a circle, painting half of it on an inhale and half on an exhale; this way, it holds one breath. Then I fill the circle with what arises in that particular moment: a feeling, a vision, something that wants to be seen. Images often come first. Sometimes the words do, and the image finds its way through them.

I see these paintings as totems, as precious artifacts of protection. I hope they will inspire, support, and nourish you.

All proceeds from this painting go directly to my Mom to help her rebuild her life after fleeing the war in Ukraine.
