Artist Jean Kinney Captured My Heart

The SEED OF LIFE – Heart Centered Harmony mandala by Bellingham fine artist Jean Kinney is a true treasure.

I’ve been gifted the rights to use this stunning representation of how life expands from the seeds we sow—on my website and in my materials. I’m deeply grateful!

Jean, a dear friend and fellow leader in the Whatcom Art Guild, brings her artistry and passion to our community through the Whatcom Art Market and Whatcom Art Center. Recently, I’ve watched her release a breathtaking series of mandalas while teaching classes on creating them. A few weeks ago, during a visit to her home, I had the privilege of seeing her collection up close—and I was captivated.

Then, as if by magic, the SEED OF LIFE appeared in my Facebook feed. It was a new, unpainted design, but it spoke to me even then. I admired it, unaware that Jean’s intuitive brilliance would lead her to paint it in the exact colors I had carefully chosen to represent my business, my passion, and the limitless freedom we achieve when working from the inside out.

Without hesitation, I reached out: I’ll buy it! Little did I know that this exquisite piece would also become part of my visual communications—a sentiment I hold so close to my heart.

Please join me in welcoming the SEED OF LIFE into your own heart. Let its message take root: everything you need to be fully you is already within, a seed waiting to grow.

Seed of Life Mandala: Heart-Centered Harmony

This Seed of Life Mandala radiates the gentle yet powerful energy of the heart chakra, symbolized by vibrant shades of pink. Its design weaves together elements of love, compassion, and connection, creating an image of harmony and personal transformation.
The gold accents represent enlightenment, abundance, and the radiance of inner wisdom, reminding us of the limitless potential within everyone. The purple tones evoke spiritual insight and higher consciousness. Purple, together with pink, balances the emotional and the spiritual.
The mandala’s hearts and stars reflect the themes of love, purpose, and aspiration. The hearts encourage nurturing and self-compassion, while the stars inspire us to reach our highest potential and embrace our unique journey.
This mandala embodies harmony, growth, and infinite possibility. Whether used as a focus for meditation or admired for its beauty, this Seed of Life mandala offers a reminder of the transformative power of the heart.

 The History of Mandalas

Mandalas, derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “circles,” have been used for centuries as symbols of unity, balance, and the interconnectedness of life. Originating in ancient spiritual practices across Hinduism and Buddhism, mandalas often represent the universe and serve as tools for healing, meditation, and self-discovery.
In the 20th century, psychologist Carl Jung introduced mandalas to the West, recognizing them as a representation of the psyche and a pathway to understanding the self.  Jung noticed that drawing mandalas allowed his clients to access their subconscious minds.  He used mandalas in therapy and believed drawing mandalas could bring clarity and inner peace.  Today, creating mandalas continues to be embraced as a relaxing and meditative practice. Whether coloring, creating, or gazing at mandalas, people use mandalas to reduce stress, focus their minds, and connect with their inner worlds.

Artist Statement

Amid a divisive climate and global conflict, I turned to mandalas to find balance, harmony, and connection. Using traditional tools—compass, and ruler—I created symmetrical mandalas while allowing my intuition to guide the process. Each piece unfolded naturally, reflecting the energy of the moment. I worked with watercolors, acrylics, and India ink to bring these designs to life, blending precise geometry with organic flow. Beyond visual art, mandalas are meditations on unity and connection, offering viewers a reminder of the beauty, balance, and order beneath the chaos.
