SALUDA—Mandalas and labyrinths created by local artist Catherine Fairbanks are on display at Saluda Library through June 14. Catherine will be at the library for an artist reception on Monday, June 2, from 2-4 pm. Light refreshments will be served. 

Catherine finds that designing, painting, and coloring mandalas offers healing qualities, as does walking and painting labyrinths. A mandala, meaning circle in Sanskrit, is designed in a circle and may contain symbols or represent thoughts, dreams, or a problem. Labyrinths are designed as walking meditations and often have a circular design. 

Catherine paints labyrinths in many colors with symbols, such as a bird, a flower, or a word, in the center. She designed a Chartres model labyrinth at First Congregational Church in Laurel Park, which is open to the public. Contact Catherine at catherine.fairbanks@yahoo.com if you would like a personalized labyrinth painting.
