Animals are my muse.
nature is my temple.

Here’s a little something I whipped up to share my story about the current work I’ve been doing. It is all Zentangle inspired artwork starting with my very first sketch leading to my most current ZIA. Enjoy!

So I combined the two and drew my pets…

The drawings were flowing and natural for me to create…

I starting coloring each piece with colored pencils with a black outline….

It started making sense to me…

The world around me became like one of those “Magic Eye” posters….

Like there was a hidden image for me to find no matter where I looked….

So I will continue to create these pieces….
