I make three dimensional Joy Dome Mandala sculptures on large acrylic domes by embellishing

with ceramic Christmas tree plastic replacement bulbs in the shapes of birds, mushrooms,

flowers and seahorses. I also use mermaid drink markers, poured resin flowers, rhinestones, fake

hair extensions and silicon tubing. I combine all these elements into concentric circles that create

a mandala effect. Order and balance in nature play a big part in my work, particularly circles and

flowers. I love the process of the dome blooming and growing and creating movement by the

colors and patterns I create. The combination of vibrant energetic colors, shiny plastic and a

touch of sparkle bring me so much joy and I hope the viewer too, has their own experience of joy.
