Size: 24" x 21" (wired to hang portrait or landscape) Weight: 8 pounds Geometry of 24 Glass, Mirror, Lepidolite, Copper, Patina Copper, Austrian Crystals Mandalas and sacred geometry are powerful tools for meditation and spiritual practice. Mandalas, intricate geometric designs representing the universe, help focus the mind and induce inner peace. Sacred geometry explores mathematical principles underlying creation, fostering spiritual growth and understanding of interconnectedness. Both practices offer a transformative experience, cultivating harmony, connection to the divine, and a deeper awareness of the universe. This expanding mandala explores the geometry of 24 and emerged from the energy of me sending healing energy out to 2 friends undergoing life changing challenges. (Have fun exploring the numerology there!) Lepidolite is a powerful stone that balances the heart, third eye, and crown chakras, bringing the body, mind, and soul into harmony. The stone is known for its ability to clear blockages in these chakras, allowing for divine connection and inner wisdom to flow freely. Lepidolite is also associated with transition and emotional healing, making it a valuable tool for releasing stress and anxiety. Its calming energy has earned it the names "peace stone" and "transition stone," and its versatility allows it to be used in jewelry or as a pigment in paints. It is a type of mica and I happen to LOVE mica. I used to have a ginormous pet granite boulder as a child. I used to sit in front of it for hours picking mica off it being hyper focused on trying to split the layers. (I still love doing that). Patination is a unique and beautiful process producing an amazing green and brown film on top of a copper sheet. You can see where bits have flecked off allowing the copper underside to peek through. The cut shapes against the striking dreamy purple and white glass have created a spectacular split complementary palette that is mesmerizing. Trust me, you’ll want to touch it.
"The Alchemy of a Star Flower" is an enchanting fusion of copper, serpentine, and the star flower's essence. It serves as a portal to the realms of inner exploration, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the transformative energies of nature. This study into the hidden structure of geometry found in flowers, resembles the intricate star flower. Each individual piece of glass and mirror, carefully placed, forms a symphony of shapes and patterns that seem to move and captivate the imagination. The mirror whispers secrets of blooming meadows, of starlight illuminating petals, and the enchantment of sevenfold geometry. In this mesmerizing mosaic mirror, the metaphysical properties of copper and serpentine intertwine, enhancing the enchantment it exudes. Copper, known for its conductive nature, symbolizes energy and vitality. Its fiery presence resonates with the red chakra, igniting passion and courage within. As the copper accents glimmer like stars, they infuse the artwork with a warm and vibrant energy, inviting an exploration of the depths within oneself. Serpentine, on the other hand, embodies the transformative powers of nature. Its lush green hue connects it to the heart chakra, radiating love, compassion, and healing energies. As the delicate rim of green serpentine adorns the inner mirror, it acts as a portal to another world, symbolizing both inner and outer growth. Take a moment and gaze into in the mirror's depths and watch your reflection merge with the mirror, and became part of the art itself. Size: 33" Weight: 15 pounds

A new series based on the geometry found in crop circles. Size: 25.75" x 25.75" - Hand Milled and Stained Maple Wood Frame Location: Windmill HIll, UK 2009 An amazing piece pushing my artistic curiosity into the geometry found in crop circles. This astral design has intrigued me for years and when I learned to draw the design I knew it had to be rendered into a mosaic. It appears to me to be a lunar map of sorts…or perhaps a door to a cosmic portal we mere mortals cannot access? Made with glass and mirror, gold, adorned with pure copper, and finished with a beautiful encaustic wax painting treatment.
