Hi! My name is Bec and welcome to my wonderful world of mandala art!

I create hand-painted mandalas to bring colour, calm and beauty to spaces.  Lovingly painted onto circular canvases, my intricate designs are all unique and are inspired by nature, places and emotions.    

In addition to my wall art, I also hand-cast and hand-paint a range of decorative homeware items including meditation stones, tea-light holders and incense stick holders and a range of hand-painted accessories including earrings, necklaces and brooches.

Painting mandalas is a mindful, meditative and therapeutic creative process and although I do plan out some of my designs, I often find that once I place my first, central dot, my design flows organically with each concentric circle.

Mandala Painting Workshops - I run mandala painting workshops from my studio in Wolverhampton, designed for people (especially those who think they 'can't do art') who would like to try this relaxing, mindful art form and enjoy a few hours of calm creativity.

So, what is a mandala?

The word mandala comes from Sanskrit and means circle, sacred centre or disc.  Mandalas originated in India with the earliest examples dating back to the first century BCE, primarily within Buddhist art.  In Hindu and Buddhist symbolism, Mandalas are created and used to represent the universe, wholeness, inter-connectedness, a spiritual journey or path to enlightenment.  They also appear in various other religions and cultures around the world where they are created and used in many symbolic ways.  Mandalas are used in meditation; the intricate patterns and colours acting as a visual aid, guiding the meditators focus and fostering inner peace.
