"I think she’s a genius. I think she’s profound. Her intellectual grasp is as strong as her aesthetic sense, which are both as powerful as her artistic talent – and they are all equal to her humanity and emotional force."  Helen Knode, Carmel Valley, CA 

"Penny is an amazing healer. She listens to you and inquires until she feels that she understands what you want and need .... Many years ago I placed my intention in becoming a compassionate human being, and the White Tara that Penny created brings it into my home, my psyche and heart."   Kathryn Payne, Vashon Island, WA

New work by PennyLea Mackie can be seen in person or online at the J. Crist Gallery, Boise ID.

Currently PennyLea is working on a project for Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame Indiana. Her contribution to the new Spes Unica academic building presently under construction on the campus, will include numerous installation areas of painting, along with the design of a stained glass door and window in the Reflection/Meditation Room within the Spes Unica building.  This project will be complete late fall of 2008.

In early 2009 I will be adding prints of all 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching, along with the eight trigrams that make up the Bagua.

I invite you to return to this site regularly, as there will be the opportunity to order prints of specific numeric yantra to contribute in bringing personal balance to your personal Vedic Astrological makeup.

Fung Shui (which translates in Chinese as “wind-water”) is the Asian art of placement. Based on the specific prescriptive use of energetics attributed to five elements of nature (and the objects created from these elements), within this discipline lie the possibilities of changing or enhancing conditions in the lives of people, the structures in which they live and work and the land on which these structures have been constructed.

In this traditional cultural approach to balance, the five elements of nature are represented as fire, water, wood, metal and earth. Each of these five elements are said to possess specific qualities, which are assigned to an eight-sided map (the Chinese bagua). The bagua is considered a blueprint for the structure of the cosmos. Along with the assignment of elements, each of the nine positions of the bagua (eight sides along with the central position) are prescribed specific numbers, geometric shapes, colors, animals, plants, gemstones, minerals and astrological correspondences. The positive balancing effect of changing energy is referred to as a ‘cure.’

The Fung Shui images presented here were created in observance of these energetic prescriptions.
