About Dionne Woods
Iā€™m Dionne Woods, the creative force behind The Turquoise Iris and a passionate Motivatarian, dedicated to inspiring others through creativity, connection, confidence, and curiosity. As an artist, mentor, and community builder, Iā€™ve built a career rooted in bold expression and fearless exploration. What began with hand-painted furniture has flourished into canvas art, wearable pieces, heirloom journals, and even a luxurious collection of velvet fabricsā€”each infused with my signature storytelling and vibrant energy.
At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to helping others embrace their own creative journey. Through my four pillarsā€”Creativity, Connection, Confidence, and Curiosityā€”I empower artists and entrepreneurs to cultivate a business and life that reflect their passion and purpose. As the founder of The Turquoise Iris Journal, Iā€™ve created a celebrated print publication that showcases artists and their stories. My membership groups, coaching programs, retreats, and podcast---The Motivatarian Exchange are all spaces where creatives can find their voice, gain confidence, and turn their passion into something extraordinary.
Whether Iā€™m painting, teaching, or speaking, my mission remains the same: to inspire you to create boldly, connect deeply, and step fully into your artistic potential.
