Bettye Barclay Mandalas: Second Generation

Artist’s statement: "These paintings speak to me of the wholeness of life. They serve as a visual expression of the cycles and changes that are part of life. Starting with the circle form, aware of the role of mandalas as a meditative assist, I worked with the circle-within-a-square format drawing on two sacred symbols as the beginning, then worked with color and shape within this selfimposed limit. I have long been interested in exploring the meanings of life beyond words.
