“VAriegated” Oxford dictionary defines the adjective “var·i·e·gat·ed” as “exhibiting different colors, patches, or streaks”. “VAriegated” is a dynamic group art exhibit where each Virginia artist explores these elements in their own unique way. The collection of works visually bridges Patricia Taylor Holz’s experimental, textured mixed media pieces with the vibrantly colored abstract work of Nancy Ramsey, and the soft moving atmospheric studies of Caroline Adams into a seamless, complimentary display.

MANDALA means "circle" in Sanskrit. A Mandala is a concentric spiritual & healing ritual symbol in Hinduism & Buddhism. It is a powerful metaphysical representation of the Cosmos. It may also stand for an imaginary palace contemplated during focused meditation. Mandalas are commonly used by Tantric Buddhists to help transform ordinary minds into enlightened ones & assist with healing. These mandalas were created digitally 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 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.
