OM MANI PADME HUM is looking to grace a private altar, home, or a studio space. SOLD!!

Om Mani Padme Hum is a sacred mantra translating as “The Jewel is in the Lotus”. Amethyst is a stone of spirit and spirituality. It serves as a stone of transfiguration and transformation, bringing harmony and peace whenever needed.

When you gaze upon this piece, picture yourself like the lotus…arising from the mud and muck…and blossoming as your petals open to the radiant sun. Inside the lotus lies a jewel - you! - pure, compassionate, and wise..

The Dalai Lama advises to repeat the mantra adding your own intention as you meditate on each syllable. It is with great joy that I offer this piece as a place to train your drishti (or gaze).

This acrylic, mixed media piece is on a 6” x 8” x 2” cradled wood panel. All sides painted. It comes with a special gift when purchased as part of Marilyn Grad’s website launch for $110 + shipping.

Be the Reason Someone Believes in the Goodness of People is looking for a home! Is it yours?

Do you need a reason to believe in goodness again? We all do these days.

If you need to:
💎 Visually remind yourself that kind, compassionate, and giving people do exist.
💎 Recognize that you may be harder on yourself than you’d ever be on anyone else?
💎 See the beauty, generous, and transformative energy in a work of art.

This acrylic, mixed media piece is on 8” x 8” x 2” cradled wood panels. Set with an Aventurine stone, to help soothe anxious energy and assist with mental clarity and creativity, place this piece where your eye will fall upon it throughout the day.

The powerful yet soothing energy (plus an extra healthy dose of compassion) lovingly incorporated by the artist will remind you of the inherent goodness in yourself and others. Bathed in Buddha’s watchful eye, you’ll find peace, generosity, and serenity are only a breath away.

This piece is delivered to your home with a special gift when purchased as part of Marilyn Grad’s new website launch for $140 + shipping.
