Becca Tindol is an artist, as well as a wife and a mom, currently living in Alabama.

She has been painting and creating artwork intermittently throughout her life, but it is only in the past few years that she has pursued painting consistently. In 2018, she experienced a profound spiritual moment while painting, during which she felt as though the universe was expressing itself through her. Since that experience, she has received visions through her mind’s eye, which she brings to life in her paintings.

For Becca, painting is an intensely spiritual practice that allows her to connect deeply with her inner self and the universal source. Through her art, she aims to inspire others to recognize the infinite creative energy within themselves and understand that they, too, can access these realms through meditation if they wish.

Dakota is a self-taught traditional oil painter. Her art is unique, vibrant and "dream like" with hidden elements and a twist or two if you look closely. She loves to create unique worlds within her paintings that tell a story and you can get lost in. She prides herself in painting many subjects, styles, and using many mediums. When she isn't painting, you can find her creating stained glass sculptures, illustrating children's books, or sketching her next painting idea out.

Dakota has been a professional full time artist for over a decade, and opened her own gallery at the age of 25 in her small home town in Northern California. She moved to Maine in 2020, focusing on licensing and promoting her work online as well as doing showings all over the country.

Dakota has much experience in creating custom work, and has painted commissions for hundreds of people in her career. She is happy to paint just about any subject and style you are looking for.

Her goal with her art is to leave the world a bit more magical than she found it.

She hides "727" (her birthday) in most of her work, can you find it?​
