​Zentangle entered my life over a decade ago, and it has been a quiet but powerful companion ever since. What began as a simple creative outlet soon became my form of meditation—a mindful practice that allowed me to centre myself, especially during some of the most challenging times of my life. While caring for my ill husband, the gentle rhythm of drawing patterns gave me moments of peace amidst chaos. After his passing, it became a source of comfort and healing, helping me process grief one stroke at a time.

 

As a certified Zentangle teacher, my greatest joy now lies in sharing this practice with others. I’ve witnessed firsthand how a few lines, thoughtfully drawn, can calm an anxious mind or open up new channels of self-expression. Zentangle is not just about art; it’s about presence, patience, and personal transformation. It is a gift I’m grateful to pass on—one that invites others to find calm, peace, and strength within themselves.

 

I have recently been fortunate enough to join some amazing artists and beautiful people as I take residence in a studio at Parndon Mill. This is a life dream fulfilled. Come and join me at this special place where you too can have some 'you' time..
