Jindati started to work with mirror and stained glass in the early '80s. Her mentor was a French artist and Buddhist monk living in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Southern France close to the Pyrenees. While Jindati studied psychology and philosophy in France she made a living selling mirror mosaics in prestigious galleries in Paris. In 1988 she moved to Santa Cruz, California, pursued a journalism career and learned pottery as a hobby. In 2001, Jindati quit her job as a reporter for the local news paper and started operating her ceramic business: Sacred Fire Ceramics. Besides being a potter, she creates mirror mosaics, mainly custom and special order.
     Mirrors, like the mind, have the quality of reflecting objects without discrimination. Creating mosaics can become a meditation. The mind is single-pointedly focused on putting the glass pieces together like a puzzle. The mind becomes absorbed into the details and the finished result that was held as a vision is a surprise to the artist. The smaller and wavier the mirror piece, the more movement is captured in a mosaic.
     Creating mosaics involves imagination and visualization. First a visual image, a scent or a feeling appears as the inspiration, it could be of landscapes, people, animals and so forth. The four elements and space take on form. Then the emotional and intellectual conglomeration manifests as the finished art in the mosaic.
