The weather in North Carolina today is absolutely gorgeous.  I think that's why I'm reaching for so many yellows and brights!  Also, I'd like to put down the happiest colors with the most vibrancy to lift spirits and hope to those who come to my site.  I wish you all peace, love, health and joy.  May your visits to your own happy place (and mine) keep bringing you the serenity you seek.  :)   Namaste

​“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep...."

― Rumi


I thought of this poem at 3:03 this morning....and did not go back to sleep.  I went downstairs and in the wee hours of darkness this incredibly bright and beautiful sunshine mandala came to life.  Such a nice secret to reveal. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm rowing my boat gently down the stream today.  My stream always has flowers in it.  :)

    Hello, and welcome to my website. My name is Jody Cooke and I am a designer living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  I have been an artist in some form or another for over thirty years. My new passion is mandalas! Since I learned about them in January 2013, I have created over 1,500 (black and white) of these circular patterns and over 160 full color.  Some are very small and sketchy, most are 8 inches in diameter, currently I am creating on 24" x 18" paper (transitioning into a Lotus Mandala series as of summer 2017) and one is a 24 inch square acrylic mandala painting on canvas. Definitely not my preferred medium..but I gave it a try!
    Making mandalas is the most rewarding creative endeavor of my career.  Each time I sit down to draw I am so excited to see what comes out on the paper.  I feel so fortunate to have found this expressive and spiritual porthole to reveal my true self.  Thank you for visiting my site.
