As an illustrator by trade, I have always been fascinated by design and colour, whether designing fashions or creating ads and doing the artwork for SEARS, illustrating childrens' books, brochures, magazine & newspaper illustrations, hand-made greeting cards and artwork for the Lincoln County School Board for teachers to teach novel studies ..also airbrushing wall murals, school mascots for local schools, stained glass articles, hand-tinted pen & ink greeting cards, home portraits, brochures, logos and more.

Years ago, while working with Feir Johnson, Dr of Hypnotherapy, and doing artwork for her series of books and cds for children with ADHD, eating disorders, fears and self esteem issues, I was introduced to the mandala, often used by teachers to calm children. I found that even CREATING a mandala was soothing and grounding.

Naturally, I experimented on my own & created mandalas with more & more detail, thus leading to an even deeper sense of de-stress. Add colour and I was then fascinated by the results. I was then compelled to work further to find what would bring healing to others through my artwork.

As a Certified LifePath Coach, I used my knowledge & my artistic skills combined to develop a series of De-STRESSING MANDALAs. Each one was created specifically to help someone in need and sent them to anyone asking for a mandala to colour.

As thus, COLOUR ME HAPPY - DeSTRESSING WITH MANDALAS was born.

After considerable urging by others, I then created a series of COLOUR ME HAPPY - "HEALING ENERGY MANDALA" Colouring Books.
