A Special Pair of Mandalas

4/17/2015

One of the greatest benefits from creating mandalas is the time spent in quiet contemplation. This mandala was the vehicle transporting my mind to the happy place where I envisioned selling my house. I have made dozens of mandalas in meditation about my house, but this one was a work in progress on my drafting table when I got an offer on the house (and so was the heart...see below). My daughter, a huge fan of the color blue, is in love with this one...so naturally I like it because of her. The heart mandala reflects softer and more gentle facets, but an important part just the same, kind of the yin and yang of my life...perhaps other people's lives too. Anyway you look at it... they are here to stay. They will always be the two I will look back on and remember the happy day my realtor called and told me about the offer on my house. Thank you Danny! http://www.frebac.com/ If you need a realtor, Dan Fiedler...he's the best!

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.
