CREATIVITY

Hi! I’m Mandi.

I move between mediums the way some people pick out clothes. Photography, painting, writing, baking, and more—each one an exercise in permission, and an experience in joy, play, and flow. I’m here for whatever divine expression wants to come through. Sometimes this takes me to light and hilarious places. Sometimes I dive deeper into the dark for the sake of truth or the thrill of being human. I love both expressions equally.

What ties it all together isn’t mastery, but curiosity: the search for beauty and release in a brushstroke, the humanity and truth behind an image, and the sensuality found in something rich and delicious.

This space is less a portfolio than a living journal—a record of process, experiment, and what happens when you let art become a conversation rather than performance.

My hope is that it feels like an open studio—welcoming, real, and maybe even a spark for your own creativity.

I fashion my ashes into living art.”

You wrote my story in blood red ink..”
