Mandala Mala Project
Lots of you know all about my Mandala Mala Project but if it’s new to you…
The quick story is…
I’m making 108 mandalas, that instead of selling I give away in exchange for doing good deeds. I call them “tasks.” The idea is to make art a catalyst to nudge our world in a positive direction. You can think of it as a pay it forward art project.
It has taken me many years to make and give away the first 73 mandalas.
This past year I’ve made over a dozen new mandalas that are now ready to go out into the world. They are perfect for giving this holiday season.
These are little mixed media encaustic pieces that shimmer depending on how the light hits the surface. I sanded and rubbed the wax with graphite & interference powder creating a sort of satin metallic look. An artist friend of mine described them as little jewels…which I think is just right.
These mandalas are extra special because the “task” is making a donation to help fight cancer. I’ve chosen the Cancer Research Institute to be the charity. Their mission is to "Save more lives by fueling the discovery and development of powerful immunotherapies for all types of cancer."
This past year many people in my circle of friends & family have had their lives cut short or shook up by a diagnosis. I’ve never felt so grateful for the people who devote their intelligence and skills to fight cancer. These mandalas are just a little way to support the work they do.

“So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.”
