The visions of Hildegard of Bingen - a 12th-century woman mystic from Germany - inspired me to surrender to the process of creating my own mandalas and to rediscover and strengthen my own inner beauty and wisdom. By allowing to mirror myself in her pure and keen awareness of Mother Earth and the Divine Feminine, restoration occurred on all levels of my being. Art as a tool for profound healing, esp. of the feminine aspect in men and women, an urgent need at this time.
