Nature is always the primary source of my inspiration for my mandalas–its many colors, detail and the cosmic scope. And that is true for this one as well. This piece (acrylic, 95 x 65 cm.) contains all of the colors I feel represent me: blue, green, pink, purple, gold and brown. The colors of peace, I hope this artwork creates an inner peace in all who view it.

Everyone asks how long it takes to create my work, but I don't count the number of hours and days, I draw because I love to draw; completion is not what I focus on. This work will be featured at my first exhibition, at the Palestine Museum and Cultural Center in Bristol, UK.
