    Where to Find Affordable Wall Art

    Are you looking for a guide to find affordable wall art? The options can be overwhelming! In my search, I always come across the same stores: Etsy, Society 6, and Saatchi Art are some of the obvious ones.

  • Mandalas in Nature

    Mandalas in Nature

    I love to make mandalas. Sometimes, when I’m not sure what to work on, I create one using the Procreate app. Procreate has a feature called guided drawing which helps you to create beautiful, symmetrical mandalas.
