Doodleys
"Just looking at them makes me feel so happy."
Erin Meyer
"I get a kick out of your doodleys.
People smile and immediately relax when they come into my office and see them."
Martin Brandero - psychologist
Inspiration
In a world that is going bonkers, I find humor, joy and solace in the utter simplicity of using just ONE tool:
a Sharpie.
Exploring shapes, lines, marks in seemingly endless ways to soothe the body, mind and heart.
Recently these Doodleys started forming from the stillness of my being.
Joy, peace, strength appear on paper - line by line, shape by shape and mark by mark within the shapes.
Their simplicity and expressiveness is a language that is universally understood and felt.
It is my desire that the Doodleys speak to your heart and reconnect you to your own natural inner joy, peace, strength and humor.
And you feel like Micaela S. who says:
"When I come home in the evening and see my doodleys on the wall, whatever might have happened during the day drops off my shoulders.
I smile and feel joy in my heart."
