Rock of Arts by Mara
Rock of My Arts by Mara was founded with the mission of showcasing vibrant and diverse artwork. Through fostering community connections, it has effectively facilitated the widespread dissemination of this art.
My primary artistic medium involves working on beach stones using a technique known as mandala dotting. While this is my main focus, I also explore various other mediums within this art form. My creations are heavily influenced by the rich tapestry of Latinx cultures.
