Reflections and Abstractions Call For Artists

We invite all artists to enter our upcoming exhibition Reflections and Abstractions. Our search for Reflections is precisely those aspects one focuses on and what is visual at certain points in time which features aspects of light. Like the return of light from a surface, the production of an image by or as if by a mirror or the action of bending or folding back, reflective patterns.  Abstractions borrow certain coordinations from already constructed structures or images and reorganize them in a function of new givens. This can originate from certain color, figure, nature and consistence having been observed to go together, or perceived, and compounding them.

We look forward to seeing many interesting and beautiful works of art.

I have taught several mandala drawing classes from age 10- adult. I love being able to provide a creative opportunity for all people, no experience is necessary. We all have a unique way of bringing beauty through circle drawing into the world. I learn and see incredible drawings in every class by each student. I’ve been creating my interpretation of mandalas for a few years and I continue to be amazed at the endless variety and possibilities.
