Lydia May, Dot Mandala Artist & Educator

Lydia May is a pioneering dot mandala artist, author, and teacher whose work helped spark a global movement in the dotting community. Since beginning her journey in 2017, Lydia has served as a foundational mentor for creatives worldwide, reaching over 27 million views on YouTube and connecting with a combined community of over 350,000 followers across her social platforms. Through her published book and step-by-step tutorials, she demystifies intricate geometric art, making it an accessible and peaceful practice for painters of all skill levels.

For Lydia, dot art is more than precise patterns; it is a grounding, therapeutic practice centered on mindfulness, patience, and stress relief. Her vibrant designs draw deep inspiration from the natural world, taking cues from sunsets, blooming florals, sacred symmetry, and organic geometry.

Driven by a desire to support fellow artists on their own paths, she founded Dot Art Depot, where she offers specialized dotting tools, custom design guides, and curated art supplies. Whether through her online video lessons or her shop, Lydia’s favorite part of her work will always be celebrating other artists as they discover their own creative voice.
