Mini Meditations
One goal I set (and achieved!) for myself in 2022 was to create a mini art panel (4”x4”) every Monday as part of a consistent meditative art practice. The process is a blend of Suminagashi (a Japanese technique of floating ink on water) and Zentangle (doodling with patterns), two techniques I utilize often in the therapeutic art workshops I have been facilitating throughout the pandemic. Similar to my paintings on scrap wood, I was inspired by the patterns that flow on the surface and allowed myself to follow the lines wherever they took me. The resulting “visual diary” of 52 pieces were shared at a gallery exhibit in February 2023:
