Meet the Artist
Ines is a mandala artist, nature lover, and a mother of four living 15 kms from Lisbon. She creates nature mandalas, personal astrological mandalas, and mandala-inspired handicrafts and jewelry. During her career as a journalist, writer, and editor, Ines began making mandalas as a way to find balance and beauty in the chaos of her day-to-day life. For the last decade, she has been working exclusively with mandalas, experimenting with different materials and practices and acquainting herself with the symbolism and meaning they carry. Nature is her favorite source of inspiration, and the majority of her work takes place in and with nature. With a focus on process and presence rather than product, Ines’ mandalas emphasize the role that art and creativity can play in our everyday lives. Cosmic!

Explore Cruz Quebrada
Lisbon offers a rich and varied history and is blessed with a glorious year-round climate that makes it a perfect escape anytime. Explore the Belem neighborhood for historic monuments, fascinating museums, and carefully maintained parks; have dinner in a restaurant in Bairro Alto for live music; or cross the Tagus by boat from Lisbon to Cacilhas, a picturesque, small district of the larger city of Almada across the river. Make sure to seek out fado music in Lisbon’s pubs, cafes, and restaurants--it’s a traditional style of Portuguese singing known for its expressive and melancholy lyrics. Rooted in themes of marginalization and social oppression, it historically frequented the brothels and pubs of sailors along the port.
