Tour Stop 6:
Clay-Ward Studio
Patricia Taylor Holz paints interiors, murals, costumes, abstracts, selfie wings, animals, flowers & wine. She also digitally creates mandalas from nature & cyborgs from people/machine photography. She welcomes commissions in any media.
MANDALA means "circle" in Sanskrit. A Mandala is a concentric spiritual & healing symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is a powerful metaphysical representation of the Cosmos. These mandalas are digital paintings from nature photos I took along the Shenandoah Valley & at the Luray Caverns in VA the day the Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire in Paris. I came home and transformed them also as a tribute to the ND beautiful rosetta stained glass window I had seen back in 1984. I hope they help you heal in your own personal space & journey.
