Josie Mai is an artist, educator, and mentor who lives in Elkins, Arkansas. She has a husband, Lance, three dogs, Maya, Kiowa, and Zuni, and a cat named Wednesday. Making mandalas for several years has contributed to her mental health so strongly that she works with them every day and is passionate about using them to work with others.
