Stop traffic on Abbey Road! Just wrapped up this hand-painted Abbey Road mandala artwork on a real vinyl record.

​Pretty sure John, Paul, George, and Ringo would pause mid-crosswalk just to get a closer look at this one... in fact, I'm pretty sure it's Beatles approved!

Santa is putting a new spin on holiday gifts this year.

My holiday commission calendar is now open for hand-painted mandalas on vinyl records. If there’s a meaningful album connected to someone you love, I can transform it into a one-of-a-kind gift created around their music and memories.

To allow time for painting, sealing, curing, framing and shipping, Christmas commissions must be placed by November 15. Availability is limited, and the calendar may fill before the deadline depending on the orders and framing options I receive.

What a weekend at the Naperville Riverwalk Fine Art Fair, hosted by the Naperville Art League.

Receiving an Award of Excellence was an incredible honor, but one of the moments I’ll remember most came from a couple who stepped into my booth. As they were leaving, the woman told me that mine had been her favorite booth to visit.

With so many extraordinarily talented artists at this show, her words made my day. They also gave me a quiet reassurance that my work belonged there.

Despite the rain, so many people came through my booth, shared their music memories and imagined which meaningful album they would choose for a piece of their own. Before I was even home, commission inquiries were already arriving through my website.

Thank you to everyone who stopped, looked closely, asked questions, shared a story or simply told me what caught your eye. You made this weekend about far more than an award. You reminded me why I create hand-painted mandalas on vinyl records in the first place: music holds our memories, and those memories connect us.

What a day! I was just presented with an Award of Excellence at the Naperville Art League Riverwalk Fine Art Fair!
Despite the rain, this has been a phenomenal show. I’ve met so many wonderful people, shared some great stories about music and memories, and made connections I know will continue long after this weekend.
And my commission calendar is filling up with some really meaningful pieces I can’t wait to create.
I’m incredibly grateful for this recognition and for everyone who stopped by my booth, took the time to talk with me, and connected with my work. What an amazing way to cap off the day!

I’m excited to share that Dot On! Designs is now available at Bosacki’s Chocolates & More in Minocqua!

You can now shop a selection of my hand-painted pieces right in the store, including wood plates, mini easels, framed CDs, and Christmas ornaments.

It’s a fun mix of colorful, one-of-a-kind pieces that make great gifts — or a little something for yourself.

And really, art and chocolate in one stop is a pretty good combination.

If you’re in Minocqua, stop in and take a look:

Every record has a story.

Some of my favorite parts of creating Dot On! Designs are the stories people share with me—the songs tied to weddings, family, friendships, losses, celebrations, and moments they never want to forget.

If you’d like to hear more of those stories, see what’s happening in the studio, and get occasional updates on new artwork and upcoming shows, you can now get them right in your inbox.
