Connecting Dots

People often ask me where my ideas come from, how I create braille art, or what inspires the work I do as Mr Dot. The truth is that every artwork begins with a connection—a conversation, a memory, a challenge, or a chance encounter. Over time, those individual moments become part of a much bigger picture.

This is where I’ll share those connections.

Here you’ll find stories from my travels, exhibitions, workshops, collaborations, and the incredible people I meet along the way. I’ll take you behind the scenes of new projects, explore the history and power of braille, reflect on accessibility and creativity, and occasionally share the unexpected moments that remind me why art can change the way we see the world.

Whether you’re an artist, educator, collector, student, or simply curious, I hope these stories inspire you to connect a few dots of your own.

After all, every great journey starts with a single dot.
