Personal Mandalas
​
They are a combination of star charts, maps and calendars. Something like a bespoke birth-chart but more in depth. Encompassing the time of day, moon phase, time of year and cosmological placements of both the Eastern (Sidereal) and Western (Tropical) zodiac systems. A reflection of the heavens above and some believe a reflection of the journey of the soul within. As above so below, as within so without.

Be Part of the Process
We can create this artwork together or you can provide the information for me to create it using my own intuition. If you choose to be part of the process we will set up a video conference to discuss the color and gem possibilities. At the same time, we will explore the symbolism found in the archetypes while creating a distinctive work of art. Choose the version Artwork plus Co-Create during checkout.

These are completely unique fine artworks with tailor-made interior symbols such as the Sacred Lotus. The interior symbol can also be customized with something specially designed for you. A kind of mandala logo. Choose Custom Design for the Inner Symbol option. You can add your idea in the notes during checkout and we will discuss the options before finalizing a design.
Sky Reflections can be experienced on 4 different levels.
Astronomically, Astrologically, Aesthetically, Spiritually
​
​
Astronomically
Quantitative Measurements
This level is a literal reading representing the time of day, month, year and the location in relation to the cosmos.
A detailed navigational chart is included with instructions on how to find the exact phase of the moon to an explanation of the precession of the equinoxes.
​
​
​
Astrologically
Symbolic Interpretations
Here, the symbolism inherent in each image is tied into the stories and myths of both eastern and western astrological systems.
​
Two systems of the zodiac are incorporated - the Sidereal and Tropical. The navigational chart will decode the various symbols and glyphs found in both systems and explore the meanings and stories that have been used as intuitive tools for thousands of years.
​
​
Aesthetically
Sensorial Experiences
Crafted using 23.7k Gold, pure Silver, and semi-precious stones, the mandala can be experienced as abstract art with a tangible connection to Mother Nature.
Amethyst, Garnet, Turquoise and many other crystals and gems are used to create the art. Each color and material has a certain frequency that was chosen for a specific reason in the artwork. Various levels of refraction, reflections and shine add to the sparkling beauty of the mandalas that can only be truly appreciated in person.
​
​
Spiritually
Transcendent Meditations
At the deepest level, this is a tool that can be used for self-reflection and meditation in order to go further within oneself and find wholeness.
​
Just as mandalas have been tools for inner healing and wisdom, the Sky Reflections can be used to deepen your inner connection with yourself. Consider a journey session that can enliven the process with tailor-made experiences that delve into the inner-states of being.
