Art Gallery
Art Gallery 1
Many of the original paintings in our Art Gallery are mandalas - a sacred art form. "Mandala" is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle." A manadal represents wholeness and our relationship to the infinite. Each mandala painting is an expression of our personal, inner journey to wholeness through the energy of our hearts.
Each of these designs is available as a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2 " gift card, as a lazer copy, and as an 8", 12" or 16" print mounted on black, mdf board ready for hanging. See ordering information for details.

Hope
Painting by Wendy Grace, poetry by Jim Peterson
"I painted this lovely butterfly to compliment Jim's poetry (inside card, see text below) about Hope. I believe that we have arrived in the era of Hope. After coming down the path of "no, " of "maybe," of "not yet," we are finally finding the path of "Yes!"
HOPE
"Hope is of the Heart. It springs from the certainty of the Love that surrounds us;the Oneness that is at the center of our Being.
Hope sees the tragedies of this world but knows there is a stronger force and a purer vision that guides us.
Yield to Hope, not despair. Hope is centered in your joy, not your pain.
Seek your joy and there you will find...Hope."
