My mission is to create more of what I want to see in the world, and I love free stuff! So all of my coloring pages are 100% free of charge, and likely always will be.
With that said though, please consider what I do as an act of charity. I urge you to value the work of artists and to support the artists you love financially whenever you can! We deserve to eat too. If you wish you could throw money at me specifically, please use that money to support a different artist, as I am not currently taking donations or selling anything!
My traditional art pieces are generally drawn in sketchbooks or even scratch paper with whatever materials I have handy at the moment, then are later photographed and edited, all of which I do on my phone. I only seldom use guidelines to create my traditional mandalas, so they often have a very organic “perfectly imperfect” look about them.
My digital art pieces are created exclusively on my phone, using a variety of different apps. My digital mandalas do make use of the radial symmetry tools to save a whole bunch of time. Call that cheating if you wish, it still often takes me hours to create those works!
AI generation however is something I do not use in the creation of any of my art. (I avoid that stuff like the plague if I’m honest!)
If you came to this page to learn more about me as a person, here are some random factoids about me:
I am in my late 20s, live in the “upper left” USA, I’m queer and use she/they pronouns, I am partnered and a parent to a toddler, I’m Jewish, I’m neurodiverse and physically disabled, I have a cat and several fish across 4 fishtanks, I am addicted to jigsaw puzzles, my favorite color is yellow, I prefer cold weather, I genuinely enjoy riding the city bus, and my favorite foods are chocolate and coffee.
