One day in the fall of 2010, I stumbled upon Zentangle and it was love at first sight.

I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher in January 2011. It has been a whirlwind, joyful journey ever since. I've taught Zentangle to kids, adults, and seniors in schools, art studios, homes, and coffee shops. I've even led a spiritual retreat and been invited to share Zentangle tips with fellow CZTs at national conferences around the US.

In addition to teaching in person, I've written 3 Zentangle books:

Made in the Shade: a Zentangle Workbook - an intermediate book that teaches the finer aspects of shading

Seeing Stars: a Zentangle Constellation - an e-book for anyone, tanglers or not. Finished art and pages to color, inspirational quotes, and a chance to help the hungry.

Pattern Play: a Zentangle Creativity Workout - a book suitable for both beginners and experienced tanglers. Want to look at your favorite tangles in new ways? Need inspiration? This is your book.

Not only has Zentangle inspired a love of teaching, but it has helped rekindle my own art-making. You can see more of my artful creations on my website: TangledUpInArt.com

My Etsy shop has some of my favorite Zentangle products.
