Meeting the Circle - an Exhibition of Mandala Art

Event Description: 

Patricia Fitzgerald is a Mandala artist based in Dublin.  Mandala can be loosely translated to mean circle, but the Mandala is far more than just a simple shape.  It embodies wholeness, representing the structure of life itself, a cosmic diagram that shows us our relatedness to the infinite, that which extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.  Mandala art embodies peaceful energy for the viewer as well as the artist and is created as an open-eyed meditation.

 

This exhibition runs from Monday 2nd November to Friday 27th November 2015.  15% of all sales will be donated to Aware.
