Meet Your Teacher
Hello, I'm delighted to invite you to a serene corner of the creative world. As a retired elementary school teacher, I've always had a passion for teaching and nurturing confidence and creativity. Since 2014, the Zentangle® Method has been my refuge. Just as it has done for so many others, tangling has boosted my artistic confidence and brought a sense of tranquility in the process. Eager to share the benefits of this mindful creative practice, I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher in 2022. It brings me great joy to witness the creative spark that is ignited in others when they discover that drawing structured patterns can lead to both a state of serenity and the creation of mesmerizing images. I invite you to embark on a creative adventure where art meets mindfulness.

Kind Student Reviews
I keep looking back at my creation from this afternoon’s class and am enjoying it anew. I was reminded that I took the Zentangle class initially because of the promise that one didn’t need artistic ability but found that my very first experience gave me the confidence and curiosity to try other artistic pursuits, like drawing and watercolour as well as more Zentangle classes. I found myself opening up to these wonderful new (creative) experiences and have you to thank for that. Today was great fun
