About Vera’s Mandala Blog

Vera’s Mandala blog is the personal blog of Vera Holly. I do not collect information of any kind. Comments may be emailed to vera@veraholly.com.

I am a retired IT professional living on the space coast of Florida. I began using Mandala Coloring books in the early 2000’s for entertainment, personal growth and exploration, and to relax after a busy day at work. After retirement I began to experiment with drawing my own mandalas and more complex coloring books. Because I am self-taught I do not adhere to any particular tradition or style.

I began using crayons but quickly moved to colored pencils and then Prismacolor pencils which became my favorites. I also moved to paint pens and most recently have used Tombow double-sided water based pens almost exclusively.

The purpose of my blog is to inspire others and to share some of what I have learned.
