Ace of Wands Hand Painted Mandala
Created by local artist and founder & creative director of the Country Storehouse, this original mandala was created as a reflection of center, connection, creativity, and the beauty of community gathering. Every layer was hand-painted with intention here in Trinity County and blessed by the waters of our sacred Trinity River.

The “Ace of Wands” Story
The journey of creating this mandala became a reflection of life itself, layered, unexpected, and deeply intentional. The deep red base was chosen to embody movement, purpose, and the fast-moving transformational energy of the Year of the Fire Horse.
While creating this piece, I focused on the energy of partnership, collaboration, and the unseen ways relationships shape our lives and help us grow into more open, connected, and visionary versions of ourselves.
As this mandala evolved, so did life around it. A new home and studio space emerged beside the Trinity River, a place whose waters are often woven into the creation of my work.
Inspired by the Ace of Wands in Tarot, this mandala carries the energy of inspiration, expansion, and the courage to move toward purpose, trusting that something beautiful can emerge seemingly out of nowhere.
This piece holds intention, transformation, and love. May the space it enters be blessed with all three.
