My vinyl record mandalas are the perfect unique gift for your friends and family...or yourself! Each is hand painted on unplayable or discarded records. I save them from the landfill and give them new life on your wall. I can even add a custom message on the back of the records.
BONUS! These are the easiest art you will ever hang. A small nail in the wall is all you need - just place the center hole of the record on the nail and you're done. No drill, measuring or level required! They look awesome as a single record or in a group, and can also be displayed on a shelf on a plate holder or framed in a shadow box.
PRICE: $60 per record + flat $15 shipping for any number of records (free local pickup)

About Vinyl Record Mandalas
Old scratched up records end their musical journey as they become dormant and unplayable. My vinyl record mandalas pick up where the stunted life of a discarded record leaves off, imbuing them with new energy and purpose.
These acrylic paintings on vinyl are mandalas - a Sanskrit word that means ‘sacred art within a circle.’ Each vinyl record mandala is a visual meditation reflective of the time of its creation.
Music is a living transitional art form, always moving from one note to the next. In the studio, my painting parallels the ephemeral quality of music as I flow from one creation to the next. The circular form of the vinyl records and the unique grooved surface are the only constraints in this collection. Within these parameters I let myself have free improvisational reign in technique, color, style, and theme.
Wood Burning
I adore the sweet woodsy smell that the burning creates and the way my hands have learned just how much pressure is needed to create a line without overdoing it. My usual style is to let each mark inform and create the next line. I never know what is going to emerge. It’s impossible to erase a woodburned line. It’s a visceral process and it requires a certain amount of presence and focus – especially in order to avoid burning yourself!
