I love colour, I love paint and I love combining them in some way. Sometimes, though, I just don’t have the space available to be able to getting a canvas, me and the surrounding area covered in paint. On those days I turn to a pen and paper and I create patterns.

Zentangle is the name of the art style. Intended to be meditative as much as creative, I find the process truly relaxing. It is a wonderful way to intentionally slow down and focus on mark making.

I guess I could add colour but to me there is something cool about just using a black pen and the white of the paper. The designs can be complex; they can be simple. One more way to weave creativity into my world!
