Here I am with a stone I've painted in my favorite greens.

As a stay-at-home mom and homeschooler to two active boys, my artistic journey began in January 2023. As my children grew more independent, I found myself with newfound time and stumbled upon the mesmerizing world of dot art through the YouTube videos of the amazing artist @thoughtfulDots, whom I am now honored to call a friend. I was instantly hooked and began my own creative path.

I am best known for my deep love of earthy greens and grounded palettes; I find the most joy when working with these organic, natural tones, though I occasionally enjoy experimenting with brighter pops of color to balance my work. My art is a reflection of the patience, growth, and stillness I cultivate in my daily life, and I am thrilled to share this evolving practice with the global community through the Mandala Calendar.
