A Month of Gratitude - April 26. Although it’s incomplete, I’m sharing a photo of my current project - because I can’t let this day go by without expressing my deepest gratitude for Zentangle and its founders. Discovering and pursuing this inspirational mindfulness practice has brought so much to my life - an outlet for creativity; opportunities for calm, peace, and relaxation; the discovery that I love teaching something I love; and, as a teacher, the privilege of connecting with others as I share the beauty and possibilities of Zentangle. Of all the pastimes I ever could have had the good fortune to stumble upon, this is by far the most joy-filled!

Three years ago today I was accepted as an artist member at Walkerville Artists' Co-op, and this happening changed my life in more ways than you might imagine. I’m so grateful for all of the beautiful people, wonderful opportunities, and creative inspiration that being a part of this group has brought my way, and it seems only fitting that this evening I finished a design that is to be used as a thank you card for gallery volunteers. Perfect timing! Here’s to more artistic adventures to come. ❤️

Tangling our way through the apocalypse.

SRH1, 2020/02/26 to 2020/03/28. Part of following the “Always Hungry?” way of life is to develop and call on a variety of life supports, one of which is stress relief habits. I decided early on that Zentangle would be one of mine. I found a small Moleskine sketchbook in my stash and dedicated it to no-pressure, no agenda, no mistakes, stress-relieving tangling, a little (or a lot) each day as necessary. I haven’t always managed to draw something every day, but it’s been there when I needed it, and now my first page is complete.

I now have six pieces complete and ready for display at the Walkerville Artists’ Co-op Miniature Show throughout the month of December. The detail and colours and size and 3D-ness (and, in some cases, the sparkles!) are more impressive in person, so if you’re in Windsor after December 3, please stop by the gallery and check them out! My fellow co-op members will have a ton of their own gorgeous miniatures on display as well, so lots of reasons for you to drop in!
