About my Artistic Journey
As a way to balance my daily life, I started painting on river rocks in 2016. It didn't take long before my hobby turned into an obsession. I found myself giving more of my free-time & energy to exploring different mediums, paints & tools. Along the way I even discovered some unconventional approaches. These new techniques didn't have much documentation. So I had to pioneer & develop my own set of tools.
Years later, I still paint every day. I look for inspiration everywhere in life. And love the freedom it brings, being open minded to the creative process.
I hope my passion for dot painting inspires others to explore their creative passions.

Tactile Creations
Using specialty acrylic paint is a great way to create a 3D effect that's not only pleasing to the eye, but also touch.
Endless Patterns
Designs and patterns come from within. Each one is an expression. There's no right or wrong.
It's all in the details
From simple lines to deep complexity, the possibilities are endless when creating with dots.
