Carol Nussbaum is a photography based artist that significantly manipulates her original images to create mandalas. Carol's Mandala artwork comprises a variety of photographic subjects, ranging from bicycle handles to hydrangeas, woven and repeated into a “mandala” or circle. Found in every culture and faith, a mandala is structured around a unifying center and represents both wholeness and the universe. Mandalas can be found in the circles of the sun, earth and moon but also in our circles of family and friendships. Carol notes, “Weaving elements of my travel photographs or even a trip to a farm stand into a mandala, brings a new mood or movement to the experience which is timeless.” While typically used as a meditation aid, mandalas can also serve to center living and working spaces. Following a successful and award winning career in advertising, Carol shows her mandala work in juried group shows, and has had solo exhibitions at Canyon Ranch (Lenox, MA), “A” Gallery (New Hope, PA) Moshava Gallery (NYC), Ann’s Place (VACNJ, NJ), Batavia (Summit, NJ) to name a few. Carol will have her first solo exhibition with Pleiades in March 2024. Visit www.carolnussbaum.com for more information
