Mandala for Melanie

9/18/2015

In our household we lovingly refer to this turquoise color and anything close to it as, "Mellie Blue." My daughter Melanie loves this color so much. At one point her bedroom walls were a light shade of this, her bedspread was close to this color in the mandala and accessories were all in the same color family as well. I think you get the idea. Though we have since moved...and her walls are a neutral color now, she still has the bedspread so....maybe we'll hang this one in her room. A mandala for Mel!
PS: months later I post this PS....her walls are now Mellie Blue too!!! :)

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.
