About Me
I am fascinated by dots and circles, perhaps because they don't have beginnings or ends. As a self-taught artist, I began using this painting technique to bring calmness into my busy and stressful life and quickly discovered the immense positive impact it had. I wanted to share its benefits with others, particularly those with no background in drawing and painting, and decided to develop dot painting workshops. This decision has been profoundly rewarding. Witnessing the imagination and vision of participants come to life continues to provide inspiration, and I look forward to continuing on this journey!

Nicole Fantin, Art Therapist, Hospice Wellington)
Over the past few years, I have had the privilege to work in collaboration with Roxana in the development and delivery of several intentional workshop series in support of bereavement clients at Hospice Wellington. The act of creation using mindful dot-painting to the support of individuals experiencing significant loss was an able companion to our therapeutic encounter to support emotional processing, Roxana a welcome and attentive companion to the deliverance of a program we would be privileged to continue in future seasons. Brilliant encounters with value and benefit felt by those who were able to connect to the practice.

Kelly Meeussen
Community Programs Assistant at Township of Guelph/Eramosa
It was a pleasure working with Roxana as we navigated online teaching for the older adult members of our centre. Roxana brought unique and interesting ideas to the group as they continued to learn the technique of dot painting on a new canvas each week! The slides and videos were extremely well done and easy to follow. Roxana was able to speak to each slide and help the participants with their projects and inspire them at the same time. Roxana was very engaging and provided a relaxing and safe environment to share. Roxana is a true artist and we look forward to having her back to the centr “ in person” one day soon! On behalf of all the participants and myself, thank you for the joy and happiness you brought to us each week! Especially during this time!
