PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

This unique design was inspired by my admiration of Mandala and geometric art. Made up of two elements, the first is a small full flower design which is surrounded by the second element, a large garland with only half of it in sight. The elements are subtly separated by a circle of rings, allowing the woodgrain background to show through them.

By Effie Carayannis I’m a passionate artist and designer, living in Melbourne, Australia. I specialize in decorative painting, fine art, and mixed media. Creativity has given me a means to escape, fulfilling my days with fun, happiness and relaxation. It continues to pull me into a whirlpool of color. I’ve shared my love of art over many years through numerous publications in Australian and international art and craft magazines. I teach at conventions and have conducted decorative painting classes in the community and at major craft shows.
