Dot Dolla, 2022

Watercolor paint on watercolor paper

SOLD

Dot Dolla was my first sand dollar piece and the first I created using this dotted style. Before having a proper studio, I cleared space on the dining room table to bring it to life.

I’ve always been fascinated by sand dollars, their delicate, fragile shells shaped over time by the sea. They symbolize quiet resilience and completeness, much like the dot work itself: countless tiny marks that might seem small alone but together form a unified whole.I chose a colorful palette to reflect both diversity and harmony. Each color stands on its own yet blends into a balanced, vibrant composition. This interplay of color and form honors the beauty of variation and connection, just as a sand dollar is naturally shaped by many forces coming together.
