Welcome!

Hi, I’m Nancy — artist, teacher, and founder of Hope Rocks Studio!
I help beginners discover the calming joy of mandala art through in-person workshops, online courses (coming soon), and easy-to-follow DIY kits. If you’ve ever thought “I’m not artistic,” I’m here to prove you wrong—in the gentlest, most colorful way.

My journey started with a single dot and a gut feeling… and it’s led me to a life full of creativity, connection, and gratitude. Now I’m on a mission to help others find the same magic, one dot at a time.

The word Mandala means ‘circle’ in Sanskrit, and represents wholeness and unity. Mandalas have been used for thousands of years and across many nations and traditions. Creating mandalas is a sacred, meditative practice that can help open the mind and heart, and promote healing and wholeness of the body and mind. The energy contained within the mandala is known to have a positive, healing effect on those around it, which makes this art form a wonderful addition to any space.

Have a look around and discover the magic of mandalas for yourself, and don’t forget to follow me on Instagram and Facebook!
