Mayumi Nakabayashi

Mayumi is originally from Japan and has been living in Ireland since 1999.

She creates ephemeral mandalas (geometric patterns) and land art using plants and other natural materials. Her works are all spontaneous – no premeditated designs.

She is also a therapist and a voice worker. Her passion is to explore wellness and creativity by working with nature in/ around us.

She works with people of all ages in diverse communities. Her youngest workshop participants are 4 years old, the oldest is 94 years old.

Her notable works are: the facilitator of Microbiota & Flower Mandala Making workshops, the artistic director of Womandala na hEireann project since 2020, the facilitator for the Community Nature Mandala Making in Five Lamps Arts Festival 2022, and the contributor for the art book ‘Earth Colour’ by Emma Burleigh (published in May 2022 from Liminal 11).
