Pistachios and Cashews

9/8/2015

It feels so good to be settled into my new home AND designing again! This mandala represents the first colored design I've created in the past few weeks while I transitioned from New Jersey to my new home in North Carolina. I love being here...it's hot!
So....
I got the most lovely and unexpected package in the mail last week. It was filled with bags of fancy cashews, pistachio nuts, sun dried tomatoes and quinoa! All of my favorite foods. Thank you my friend! When I was looking at my color palette for this design after it started forming...I couldn't help but see the correlation between the gift and this mandala.
I look forward to posting more regularly now that I'm here. Enjoy today's blog (ya'll) and more will follow!

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.
