I am so blessed to be drawing circles everyday that I can. Through this practice I find myself sitting in gratitude and harmony. These works of art for me are sacred and divine. Thank you for your presence. I hope you enjoy the circles as much as I do.

About the Artist

I didn’t set out to become obsessed with circles. It began as a simple experiment with a compass—one shape repeated, one motion learned through the body as much as the mind. But the more I drew, the more the circle revealed itself. Geometry stopped being static. It became a teacher, a mirror, a meditation.

Each drawing is built from thousands of hand-drawn circles, placed with breath, rhythm, and precision. A shift of a millimeter creates an entirely different world. A subtle change in pressure transforms a clean line into a doorway of light, vibration, or illusion. With repetition came craftsmanship. With patience came discovery.

As the work evolved, I started seeing circles everywhere: in nature’s design, in the cycles of behavior, in the return of seasons and stories. What I’m drawing isn’t new—these geometries have existed for centuries, whispered by Plato, Euclid, and ancient builders. Yet when I sit with them, pour hours into them, chase their symmetry through sleepless nights, they become something I’ve never seen before.

My art is a conversation with timeless form. A practice of attention. A search for balance between intention and surrender. I draw to witness what geometry can become when guided by devotion, repetition, and curiosity.

These circles are not just shapes. They’re records of experience—of the hand learning, the mind quieting, and the page revealing what structure has always known.

One circle at a time, I’m learning to see.

On a mission to draw 100,000 circles every year for the next 10 years

It all began with one circle, soon there will be one million.

My Philosophy

My work is rooted in a deep respect for the past. The circle is one of humanity’s oldest symbols, appearing across cultures, eras, and belief systems. It has represented unity, cycles, time, and wholeness long before it became a tool of mathematics or art. Its presence is constant, because its meaning is fundamental.

From Plato’s exploration of ideal forms to Michelangelo’s use of the Golden Ratio, great thinkers and artists have long understood that geometry is not decoration—it is structure. Sacred proportions govern the way bodies move, architecture stands, and compositions feel balanced. These principles were not invented; they were observed, studied, and applied with discipline and reverence.

I believe sacred geometry lives within all of us. It shapes how we grow, how we think, and how we respond to beauty—even when we cannot name it. That is why these forms feel familiar. They speak to something innate, something remembered rather than learned.

At the core of my philosophy is the belief that we are all artists. Creativity is not reserved for a few—it is a potential waiting to be unlocked. The key is attention: slowing down, committing to a process, and allowing simple actions to reveal deeper structure. My drawings are not only artworks, but invitations—to see, to reflect, and to recognize the geometry already present within yourself.
