The whole process of making a mandala is about creating a sacred space. Sometimes it's appropriate that a prayer weaves it's way into the design making evolution, as it did this day back in May. Other times it may simply be a word, or a phrase that just makes sense at the time. I can work with graphics as well as symbols (I haven't come across any rules for mandalas yet).  Whatever comes to mind, that is what goes down on the paper. I connect with my inner guidance and reflect that on the paper.  Connect....reflect.

    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.
