My Painting (painting 18” x 20,” frame 23.8” x 29.5”)

This painting is a vibrant, mandala-inspired composition that radiates an almost spiritual energy from its center outward. A bold cross-like structure anchors the canvas, its arms extending to the edges and framing a central medallion of intricate floral and petal motifs rendered in deep crimson and sky blue. From this hub, ribbons of color — orange, yellow, purple, red, pink, and gold — fan outward like the spokes of a cosmic wheel or the petals of a sunburst, filling the canvas with joyful, kinetic movement. Each corner is punctuated by a distinct decorative tile motif: a Moorish rosette in pink and gold, an ornate floral medallion on gold, a Celtic-style knot in the lower left, and a four-petaled bloom in sage and purple at the lower right, grounding the composition in a sense of global folk tradition. A concentric circle in soft pastels sits at the bottom center like a target or portal, echoing the mandala energy above. The overall effect is one of exuberant celebration — a painting that feels simultaneously like a stained glass window, a textile pattern, and a meditative diagram, all pulsing with life and color.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
