MFA FREE Art Spotlight for June '08: Soulmandala

[Sol]

Dear Friend,

MFA on Zaadz member D. Kristen Herrington (http://soulmandala.gaia.com) is an artist, writer and Reiki master/teacher from Round Rock, Texas. After a career in advertising, marketing and sales, she left the corporate world to begin working closer to her spirit.

She has developed a unique technique for creating mandalas. Kristen says, “While there are some excellent computer programs available to generate geometric mandalas, they couldn't express what I wanted to relate. I instead place each and every stroke myself, then duplicate, flip–do whatever I need to do to create what I'm feeling. The result is an absolutely original creation each time!”

Kristen also uses her background in Reiki to create Personal Soul Mandalas. Using her Reiki training, she accesses the soul energy of her clients and allows that energy to direct her creative process. Some of the resulting soul portraits may be viewed on her Gaia profile. Just click on the Photos tab and enjoy!

Kristen has created three mandala computer wallpapers (each in four sizes to match your monitor size) specifically for the Gaia community as June's MFA FREE Art Spotlight.

To request your own free mandala wallpapers, please email Kristen at: [e-mail].

Mandala giclee prints on canvas and spiritual greeting cards by Kristen are available at: http://www.pathfindertohealth.com/greetingcards.

Unique Personal Soul Mandalas are available by commission. Please contact Kristen via Gaia email for commission order details.

If you'd like to be considered for an MFA FREE Art Spotlight, or wish to nominate one of our peers, just let me know (in a private letter to my Gaia email). You'll have to join MFA on Zaadz first, which is also FREE. I'll consider any of our members, but can only choose one applicant per month. :-)

In addition to being posted on our community's featured Discussion Board, each MFA FREE Art Spotlight will be mailed out to the entire membership, currently approaching 2,700.

Spotlighted artists are required to offer an original FREE art work (or works) of high quality to all members–at least for the duration of the month in which their work is featured.

Also, please help grow MFA on Zaadz by copying and pasting the following linked banner on your Gaia profile and blogs:

Artfully,
