About Your Host
Hello beautiful soul, I'm Lauren. I'm an artist and former high school art teach turned full-time entrepreneur, online business & marketing mentor, and most recently, die-hard mandala-enthusiast.
I believe that most people are creative in nature and capable of producing beautiful works of art with the proper mindset and step-by-step approach to teach them how.
My story goes something like this:
2018 - Leave my career as a high school art teacher to start an online business as a mindset/marketing mentor for creative entrepreneurs
2020 - Scale said business to 6-figures and then multiple 6-figures, teaching others the power of their thoughts and how to use their mind to create any reality they desire to; alchemizing their creativity into fulfilling and impactful online income streams
2021 - Begin struggling with my own mindset and mental health in the midst of lockdowns and endless mandates for two straight years in Toronto where I lived, which begins to greatly impact my business, income, and overall love for life
2022 - Discover dot-painting as a means to become present, reconnect with myself, heal my nervous system and once again find the peace of mind I value more than anything
2023 - Truly find myself again, and begin to build Love & Dots to help others do the same, returning to my roots as an artist and teacher, but this time through the lens of meditative art practices and the immense & powerful impact they have on our lives
For me, mandalas has been a much-needed return to love, through dots.

Mandalas are about bringing you into a deeper connection with yourself. They're about giving you an outlet you can channel your energy, anxieties or overthinking-brain into. It's about finding peace and quiet in a growingly noisy and disruptive world.
Whether you're here because you simply love the art form, or are seeking your own journey back to love through dots, you're in the right place. Thank you for being here and joining me along this beautiful journey.
I've built this free masterclass as a means of giving back to my beautiful and supportive community, providing learning resources that are available at any budget and accessible to all, and giving those who desire it, a taste of what it's like to join one of my painting courses and learn from me as an art teacher (I'm ALL for the "try-before-you-buy" learning model!).
This masterclass is best suited for those who already have some mandala painting experience, however it includes topics that'll benefit artists at any stage in their mandala journey. For those who are brand new to mandalas, this masterclass pairs incredibly well with my Love & Dots Mandala Course that was built specifically for beginners, as well as my Beautiful Brushstrokes course.
