Dot On! Designs – Where Music Becomes Art

Welcome to Dot On! Designs, a cozy Northwoods studio where vintage vinyl records are transformed into vibrant, hand-painted works of art. Rooted in a lifelong love of music and creativity, this is a place where nostalgia, color, and storytelling come together in a truly unique way.

The Story Behind the Art

I discovered dot art after retiring from a career in marketing—and quickly realized I had found something special. Painting mandala-style designs on old records became a meditative, joyful process that blends my love of music, design, and meaningful connection.

Each record I create is inspired by the album it once played. The colors, patterns, and movement reflect the spirit of the music, turning every piece into a visual tribute to the songs and memories we hold close.

This Year’s Featured Artist: Frank Sinatra

In 2026, I’m spotlighting the timeless, classic music of Frank Sinatra. His iconic voice, unforgettable songs, and signature style inspire a special collection of hand-painted records that celebrate the elegance and emotion of his music.

What You’ll Experience at the Studio

During the North Woods Art Tour, visitors are invited inside my studio to see how these one-of-a-kind pieces come to life. You’ll be able to:

• Watch live dot-painting demonstrations

• See a wide range of finished vinyl artwork

• Explore the Frank Sinatra feature collection

• Learn how music influences each design

• Ask questions about the process and materials

• Enjoy a relaxed, welcoming creative space

Whether you’re an art lover, a music fan, or simply curious, the studio offers a fun and engaging experience for all ages.

Custom, Meaningful Creations

Many of my pieces are inspired by personal stories—favorite albums, special songs, anniversaries, or meaningful memories. I love working with people to create custom records that celebrate what matters most to them.

If a particular song or artist has shaped your life, I’d be happy to help turn that story into art.
