dot mandala art • macramé • dream catchers • jewelry • and more
About the artist: Kelly Spieker
I am a Colorado Springs native who has been crafty and artistic since I was a kid. I remember making holiday decorations with my mom, who would find ideas in magazines so that we could try to recreate them. Now I do the same with Pinterest. From macramé and dream catchers to refinished furniture and jewelry, I’ve tried it and found a way to filter it through my unique point of view.
It was in 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic, that I first discovered dot mandala art. Bored with all of my hobbies and coping with the anxiety that arose during quarantine, I returned to Pinterest for new ideas. I watched a couple of dot painting reels and before I knew it, I had the dotting tools, a stack of canvas and paint. And while I can’t draw a stick figure to save my life, it turns out I’m good with dots and circles.
Dot mandala painting started as a hobby and quickly turned into a meditative practice of counting dots and sharpening my skills. I love pairing colors that may not obviously match and finding random and obscure canvases to fill full of dots. I never thought about selling my art, but as the finished products started piling up, I figured I’d give it a try. Thus the Adopted Alien Project was born.
