My experiences with drawing and various painting mediums have provided me with a creative outlet, also served as a valuable life skill in my teens. I enjoy drawing in pen/pencil which allows for incredible detail and expression, while working with watercolor that does bring unique qualities to compositions. This prompted me to pursue this method of Art. I became a Registered Zentangle teacher (CZT42) late last year, a newbie on the block. This art provides a unique space to unwind and reflect, allowing myself and others to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
