Online Art Gallery: "Mandalas for a Pandemic" by Carol Whitman
Dance Palace Art Gallery--Online
"Mandalas for a Pandemic"
Carol Whitman
The Dance Palace is featuring the botanical mandalas of West Marin resident Carol Whitman for the month of November.
On June 2, 2020 Carol came home from a walk carrying some iris seed pods and three small puffball mushrooms. She arranged them on a table in the garden. Every day since then she’s made a mandala on this table. After a week of doing this, it was clear that she’d found her genre.
Please see the online gallery for Carol's beautiful photographs of these mandalas.
There will be an artist reception on Saturday, November 14th at 5 PM PST. You can register here. There is no cost to attend the reception, but you must register in advance so we can email you a link. Donations to support the Dance Palace are gratefully accepted. You can also purchase prints of Carol's mandalas, a portion of which suppoorts the Dance Palace.
