Second Annual Mandala Exhibition - Sacred Circles in Art & Healing
@ Expressive Arts Gallery - Through April 9
1967 B - Towles Court

Finstads study Portal Mandala

Expressive Arts Florida gallery, in tandem with Towles Court Art Walk, opened their Mandala Exhibition - Sacred Circles in Art & Healing on Friday night. Local artists showcased their "sacred circles" in many artistic mediums - collage, watercolor, acrylic and textile.

This is a small gallery with lovely energy flowing from the four women who own

it. They made the opening fun for all participants. An easel with a mandala outline on a blank canvas was set up for gallery-hoppers to contribute to a communal mandala. Last year they offered a similar opportunity which resulted in 165 people creating the community mandala. It was fun watching the intensity on the faces of the painters as they added to this year's mandala.

I showed two mandalas inspired by the recent trip

to Peru. The first, "Solar Heart-Portal of the Divine Feminine" was created from the women's ceremony at Aramu Muru on Feb. 14th. The second, "Geometry in the Portals," is a mandala depicting the experiences I had when the portals dissolved in my hands at both Tiwanaku in Bolivia and Aramu Muru in Peru. I was drawn into a spiral in a vortex that pulled me inside the stones and down into the earth.

It was such an honor to share the evening with so many friends who came out for the show. I was very surprised at the turnout and am grateful to all who visited

Expressive Arts is located at 1967B, Morrill Street in Sarasota. The show continues through April 9th.
