Susanne F. Fincher

Susanne F. Fincher is a credentialed Counselor and Art Therapist retired from clinical practice in Atlanta, Georgia. She has written and illustrated a dozen books about mandalas, circular designs with personal meaning. Her books about mandalas help people discover and enjoy their own creative potentials. "Creating Mandalas: For Insight, Healing, and Self-Expression" is "a classic," according to The Journal of the American Art Therapy Association (1992, 9). It has been translated into a number of languages.

She has also produced a "Mandala Workbook" and eight "Coloring Mandalas" adult coloring books that offer the creative, meditative, and stress reducing activity of coloring. "Creating Mandalas with Sacred Geometry," now available, offers practical guidance for drawing personal mandalas based on the traditions of sacred geometry.

Susanne offers online classes, blogs, and produces a monthly newsletter for CreatingMandalas.com. Her articles have appeared in Art Papers, Creative Loafing, eQuill, and Decaturish. Susanne’s most recent book is "Creating Mandalas with Sacred Geometry." She is presently writing a novel entitled "Bone Mandala."

Susanne is married with six grandchildren and lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where she enjoys gardening, writing, and a good cup of tea.
