Recently I was flown from Canada to New York by Domestika to film an online course. It was an incredible experience! Thank you to Domestika and their whole team. Also a huge thank you to Apple for sponsoring this vlog series - I filmed my journey with the newest iPhone Pro and part of my process in my art and in the online course is using the newest iPad Pro.

Here’s what I was filming!

Over the past year, I've been working with the incredible education platform Domestika to create an online course. I designed the course in Canada and filmed it in New York. In the course, I teach how to draw a mandala - all the way from the technical aspects, to the history, meanings, materials needed, tips & tricks - everything.
