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 from  
somewhere hidden - this combined with the here and now produces little treasures
offering insight,  joy and wisdom leading to further discovery and inspiration.
