My new mandala series is a visual invitation to focus upon Hope, Love, Equality, Inclusion, Kindness, Justice, Equity and Peace…

These flower mandalas provide a gentle cue to meditate on the words and consider love as the essential core of being. This is a new series that I will be adding to throughout 2023.

Printed on on acid-free paper using long-lasting pigment ink and comes with a white mat and backing board. 10×10″ square mat with 5.5″ print. I will sign the print in the lower right-hand corner. Sealed inside a clear cello bag. Ready to frame. Great for gift-giving!

Mandala No. 1:
Peace, Love, Unity, Hope, and Heart.

Mandala No. 2:
Unity, Justice, Love, and Hope.

Mandala No. 3:
Hope, Love, Equality, Inclusion, Kindness, and Peace.

Save the date for art! Brookside Gardens: Flora and Fauna Exploring the World of Plants and Animals

I'm participating in a group art show at Brookside Gardens in May. Please save the date.

Show: May 15 - June 12
Meet the Artists: May 17, 4:00 - 7:00pm

Location:
Brookside Gardens, 1800 Glenallan Ave, Wheaton, MD

3 of my garden prints will be for sale at Brookside Gardens gift shop durring the show.

My entry for the show at Brookside Gardens will be hanging on the wall display.

Sunflower Cigar Box No. 2. by Michelle Bailey. Watercolor and mixed media. UV varnish. Optional hanging wire for wall display.
This watercolor was painted using Daniel Smith iridescent gold watercolor ground and has a shimmering effect in certain lighting.
Matted giclée prints available at show and online.

About this show:  Our annual exhibition at Brookside Gardens is a mid-sized art show using the full gallery space within the visitors center. The show is a wonderful opportunity for MAA artists to display their botanical works -- flowers, plants, butterflies, landscape paintings from the gardens. There will be wall art and 3D artworks in the display cases. Many of the artists will have giclée prints of their works available for sale in the gift shop.

I'm a new member of the Montgomery Art Association and happy to have my cigar box painting of a beautiful sunflower included in the hanging wall art display in this art show.  Matted giclée prints of my sunflower painting and other works will be available for purchase in the Brookside Gardens gift shop--and my online gift shop. I will be attending the meet the artist event on May 17th and hope to see you there! Over 70 MAA artists are participating. I've seen this show many times over the years and have always been amazed by the art.

Sales during the show support Brookside Gardens and local artists--Thank you!
