Gratitude Mandala : Janet McKenzie

3/10/2021

Gratitude Mandala Day 14: For painter Janet McKenzie, whose powerful work fuses art, spirituality, contemplation and issues of racial justice. I’ve seen profound shifts of consciousness in workshops as people encounter her images that invite us to see Biblical stories figures in contemporary faces . Here are two of her images: Mary Magdalene with Jesus the Christ and Invitation to Love. See more of her thought provoking work at www.janetmckenzie.com.

For years, I have been moved by the works of Scottish land artist Andy Goldsworthy, but it has only been this past year of Covid when I turned to creating art in nature as a way to help me deal with fear, depression and anxiety. Partly informed by my studies of alchemy and Medieval architecture and sacred geometry, I began to create objects from the simple materials foraged from my yard and on daily walks in the woods near my home.

. May they ignite your own imagination inspire you to see what is possible with what is right at hand. What is a weed? What is a flower? It is often only in the eye of the beholder. as my first mandala for Lent taught me. This practice has been a good reminder that beauty is ALWAYS possible, if only we have the eyes to see.
