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!

What a joy it was to take a Mindfulness Dot Painting workshop with Roxana!
Roxana has all the qualities of an excellent art teacher,… she provides clear instructions; she demonstrates techniques; she is well organized; she has infinite patience; and she provides just the right amount of encouragement to instill confidence in the participants. Although the dot painting projects looked complex, Roxana managed to simplify the process of creating intricate dot patterns. Even the most inexperienced of “budding artists” discovered that they too could produce art which they were proud to display. Not only did my group of friends experience artistic success, we had FUN doing so. I enjoyed my first workshop so much that I organized a second group of friends to take another dot painting workshop. We had just as much FUN!
Roxana’s Mindfulness Dot Painting workshops would be perfect for volunteer appreciation events, staff retreats, team building activities, church groups, groups of cancer survivors, PROBUS clubs, an activity for seniors, a grandparent-grandchild activity, a mother-daughter event, a pre-Christmas craft party, or simply an individual or friends looking for a Fun experience.

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!
