Creating with positive energy!

Hi, I'm Dorothy Tully, an artist and mama in Rhode Island, USA! I love to draw, write, sew, and garden. I have a million ideas clamoring for my attention at all times. ;)

Everyone needs lots of joy, kindness, laughter, and fun -- especially children! I hope that my work lights you up, and inspires you to shine your light, too!

Everything here is handmade by me! (NEVER any AI!) I hope you're inspired by my art, and have a great day! :)

Take the Creative Path

I'm always encouraging people to create authentically themselves! Everyone is an artist, no matter how skilled or unskilled, so if you want to make something, I say go for it! It feels really good to bring your ideas to life.

Relax and Enjoy!

Do more of what makes you happy! For me, this is gardening, being outdoors, hanging with my family, playing with my pets, and bringing more rainbows and imagination into the world. :) Celebrate your special times, bring art into your space and feel the joy!
