Marie's Story
My love of creating mandalas began while I was travelling in 2018, as a way to share uplifting gifts with strangers I met. I became hooked by the meditative effects of hand-drawing mandalas as a way to process emotions and create a sense of connection and peace in my life. Today, I live and work from the mountains in Austria, and it brings me so much joy to share the beneficial effects of mandala art to people all over the world.
What does Shala Art mean?
Shala is a Sanskrit word meaning “home”. But to me, it encompasses a lot more than the word itself. As someone that has moved around the world, I have always found creating artwork gives me a sense of being home; a sense of belonging no matter where you are. My art is art for the home, whether home to you is mental, physical or social.
