Welcome to Out on a Whim – art by Karen Farrugia

Where art meets mindfulness, playfulness, and heart

Hi, I’m Karen, an artist who blends intuitive mandalas and the patterns of sacred geometry with bright, whimsical creations.

From meditative sacred circles to joyful art-card subscriptions, everything I make is rooted in connection, curiosity, and colour.

Whether you’re here to slow down, reconnect, or just add a little magic to your day, welcome. You’re in the right place.

Art for Everyday Dreamers and Every Budget

I believe meaningful art should be within reach. That’s why I offer a range of options:

– Custom mandalas made just for you
– Whimsical monthly art & mindfulness subscriptions
– Freebies

No matter your budget, there’s something here for you, to uplift, inspire, and reconnect you with what matters.

At the heart of it all is connection, curiosity and freedom

Connection to nature and our environment. Curiosity to explore without pressure. Freedom to pause and play.  Whether you’re receiving an art card in the mail or commissioning a mandala for your space, I hope my work gives you permission to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with something true inside yourself. That’s what art does, it reminds us we’re all unique and each day is an opportunity to take your own soul journey.
