Sure you can downward-dog and cobra and tree. You can meditate and balance your chi. You may have even dabbled in Tibetan Buddhism–I could throw a stick and hit a Dallasite who took a weekend’s worth of interest in the religion and it’s discipline when it came into “vogue.” But how many times do you find someone legitimately inspired? Dallas-based artist Laura Elia turned to an easel and produced colorful works of original art inspired by her learning within Tibetan Buddhism–from the transformation of the lotus to the simple symbolism of the prayer flag. And she knows full-well what time it is. “I created these spiritually-based paintings to give people hope and inspiration during the busy holiday season,” Elia says. See her Lotus and Awake series at Rising Gallery, 4631 Insurance Road, from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Visit risinggallery.com.
