"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.

A Yantra is a geometric composition that reveals a particular energy configuration whose power increases in exact proportion to the abstraction and precision of the diagram. Used together with mantra, or seed sound syllables, each Yantra displays the patterns of force heard in the mantra.

The discipline of Yantra has its roots in the ancient vedic traditions of southeast Asia, or present day India. A Mandala is a structural matrix, through and from which flow a succession of changes. It consists of a series of concentric forms representing a passage, or a portal to the Self. The mandala form exists in the visual healing traditions of the majority of indigenous cultures globally.

Following the patterns within a Yantra or Mandala while moving towards the center-point, enlivens in our consciousness corresponding experiences, feelings and recognitions of harmony with the eternal rhythms of nature and the cosmos.

The Yantric images presented here were created following the rules and precepts consistent with this ancient discipline.
