I was inspired to create a series of paintings that represent symbolically, the native spirit and energy of Australia. I have used as a spiritual reference, the aspect of a Tibetan mandala. Used within that religion as an image to focus upon during meditation, to both enlighten and heal the mind.
Each mandala I create uses different birds or animals, each one chosen specifically to suit a particular theme and placed within a native bouquet of plants and flowers.
Australia mandala no 1 has a summer theme representing strength, power and freedom and joy.
