5 out of 5 starsAmazing work -- purchased both Bender & Roberto, and love them both to bits! Excellent quality of print and paper. Shipping was quick, the artwork was well protected and the package was boldly labeled so it didn't get bent or folded!

5 out of 5 starsThis is already one of my favorite pieces of artwork. I deeply love and respect Thich Nhat Hanh, love lotus blossoms, and it is my favorite "words of wisdom" combined in one lovely, colorful design. I am so glad I bought it.

About Lydiasdrawingboard
Letting it happen
"Each person's life is like a mandala - a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life," according to Tibetan Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron. I agree with this sentiment and use the mandala, or concentric, form quite often in my work, both because it is a pretty fundamental symbol of the universe and because it can contain anything one can imagine - beautiful or ugly, whimsical or serious, sacred or profane.
I like to incorporate a sense of humor and lightheartedness into my work, because it is important not to take ourselves too seriously. I believe that one of the primary functions of art is to uplift the beholder. It is not always necessary to provoke heavy emotion or thought; sometimes a smile is enough.
