Hey there and welcome!

I’m Nancy, the creator behind Hope Rocks Studio.  Thank you for visiting my site and seeing what it is all about.  Hope Rocks Studio originated as a way of spreading hope in the early days of the pandemic.  I was working at a retirement home and noticed one day that someone was leaving tiny little painted rocks at the front entrance of our home.  I thought, “How sweet”, and decided to contribute some myself.  That led me to start leaving rocks with ‘hopeful’ messages in friends’ and neighbours’ gardens, and eventually along our local walking trails here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  It became a family activity and we quickly became known as the Rock People, and I myself as the ‘Rock Fairy’.  

But it didn’t end there.  My rock painting continued to evolve and grew into a full time passion.  I began to explore the beauty of Mandalas, working with the energy within and creating from a deeper sense of love, peace and gratitude.  I had found my path.  This practice is both healing and meditative. My childhood dream of becoming an artist has come true.

Eventually, I left the retirement home to create full time and share this art form with all who love and appreciate it as much as I do.  I run Mandala Stone Workshops, both publicly and privately here in Ottawa, and offer a variety of mandala art supplies, such as DIY kits, hand cast stones and tea light holders, stencils and lots more.
