Patricia Fitzgerald is a visual artist located in Dublin, Ireland. Her main focus is on the art of Mandala and the power of mandala as a tool for the expansion of consciousness. Her internationally selling work has been exhibited extensively in Ireland. As well as creating stunningly detailed mandalas, she also hosts workshops and retreats in Ireland and abroad on Mandala creation and meditation. She is a part of the creative collective outlet 300 Acres who are situated in the Courtyard at Marlay Park, Rathfarnham, Dublin.
Patricia studied Visual Education and Communication at Dun Laoghaire College of Art & Design (IADT) and also holds a first class honours degree in Philosophy and Sociology from University College, Dublin where she was also awarded a post graduate scholarship.
Her first book Healing Creations: Discover your mindful self through mandala colouring and journaling (Collins Press 2016) contains forty hand drawn mandalas for you to engage with, positive quotations and wisdom from many of the world's best thinkers plus meditation. It is available in all good bookstores in Ireland and globally on Amazon. Her second book 'Who Would You Be If..." is a personal development guide for women and was published by Red Stag Books in November 2018.
She has featured on The RTE Today Show, Victoria Mary Clarke's The Art of Living Show, Derry City FM's Arts show, Positive Life, Live Encounters, The Dublin Enquirer and on many other radio shows and magazine features.
Patricia was a Senior Librarian and Arts Officer with South Dublin Libraries for over 27 years until she changed her career in 2017 to pursue her passion for art and meditation practice full time.
A little of my story
In December 2012, I was not sleeping. I was stressed out, losing my temper and basically worrying all day. I was in the midst of going through massive and unexpected changes in life. I was not doing well. Through a mind blowing series of coincidences and synchronicities, I came to discover the art of mandala. To begin with it calmed me. It let me come to a realisation that I could only control what was in my sphere of control and the rest I had to trust. And to be okay with that. I was unaware of the journey that mandalas would lead me on, and it was only after things had settled that I began to research and come to understand what it was that I had been intuitively doing.
Mandalas started me on a massive spiritual awakening, a word that was not in my vocabulary prior to these events. The journey continues and gets more fascinating with each and every day. Mandalas hold such power, the power to calm, to heal and to connect deeply to the self yet at the same time, to something much bigger than ourselves.
"After drawing my circles with the compass, I relaxed into a meditative, quiet space and let my hand be guided into creating shapes and choosing the colours. In this stillness, questions, insights arose from a deep place, reminding me of what my heart and soul is really seeking. Since that day, whenever I now look at my Mandala, I am taken back to that place of stillness and centredness. Thank you Patricia for creating that space." Noreen O'Donoghoe, participant at Mandala Workshop at The October Gallery London.
Both the drawing of mandalas or gazing at them prior to meditation brings you deeper into the self and paradoxically connects you to the universal. Having a mandala in your home creates a calm restorative atmosphere where peace can be achieved. All of my work is created intuitively and originals can be purchased for yourself or a loved one. You can also commission a piece which I can create especially for you, please mail me at peace@healingcreations.ie
If you would like to learn to create your own mandala, I give workshops regularly or can arrange one for you and your friends/group or business. This is soul work. It runs deep and has such an affect on how we are in the world. Subscribe to my mailing list to receive a regular Mandala sharing a piece along with the ancient wisdom and learning underlying it. I love social media and connecting with like minded people there, so do join me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
