| Lindy Longhurst For several years through much travel, exposure to different cultures and spirituality Lindy has been exploring her creativity in the expression of mandalas. Originally with a background in landscape architecture and design she now works full time as an artist . Her works include a series of mandalas based on the Zodiac, Australian landscapes, the Chakras, and the Major Arcana of the Tarot. All of these works are available as greeting cards and are distributed nationally within Australia. As well as these she has created over 100 Personalised Mandalas for individuals and couples and is currently working on a series of fairy tale mandalas and figurative works on canvas titled "Dream Series". The Dream Series has proved popular with many ages and is continually growing. There are currently over 70 images within the series. Lindy has had numerous solo exhibitions in Europe and Australia and her work has also been published in magazines in Australia and the US. |
I began making mandalas some years ago after much travel, exposure to different
cultures and spiritual beliefs and a reawakening to nature. My influence for the
creation of the mandalas is based on a strong connection with the earth - to the
natural elements, and an exploration into the conscious and subconscious worlds
via dreams and meditation.
Making mandalas is a spontaneous process full of surprise and wonder. It is a
natural meditation from which all sorts of symbols, shapes, colours, forms, and
themes unravel and combine to provide perfectly integrated and profound stories.
Sometimes the themes and elements are well known but often they emerge fromÂ
somewhere hidden - this combined with the here and now produces little treasures
offering insight, joy and wisdom leading to further discovery and inspiration.
