Welcome!

I'm Mandi—a multi-disciplinary artist and storyteller whose work lives at the crossroads of beauty, truth, humor, and transformation. I bring a layered, intuitive approach to creative expression—one that embraces both refinement and raw emotion.

​

Rooted in ritual and curiosity, my creative life moves through many forms, always chasing the feeling of aliveness—whether I’m painting, writing poetry, baking a rich chocolate cake, capturing a fleeting image, or singing a late-night song. Through each medium, I explore the cycles of becoming—the quiet shifts, the fierce reclamations, and the beauty that emerges when we allow ourselves to be fully seen. There’s heart in everything I create, and often a touch of humor too, because I believe healing and joy can coexist.

My paintings, often in mixed media and abstract form, use bold color, texture, and symbolism to evoke stillness, self-connection, and emotional depth.

​

I bring over two decades of leadership experience and years of shaping creative projects across disciplines—but my real compass is curiosity. I create not to impress, but to connect—through texture, through story, through color and taste and sound.

​

Thanks for being here. Take a look around, and if something speaks to you, let’s talk. :)
