A dream of mine is quietly unfolding: I’ve begun my Certified Zentangle Teacher training & it already feels like coming home— to a circle of kindred spirits who can lose themselves in the rhythm of pen on paper for hours, & still lean in for more. Today was Day 1. Savoring this beautiful moment. ✨

I’ve been out with groups on the water, hiking rugged shorelines, & exploring human & natural history of wild Lake Superior. Gearing back up for more art again, & finishing up my 100 Day Project portfolio, but for now- here’s some tiny art to tide us over. #zentangleinspiredart

Day 100 of #the100dayproject 🎉This experience has been a reminder of the power of small steps & how they add up. I made art every day for the last 100 days-mostly a little bit squeezed in the cracks of a busy life. & now, I have made So.Much.Art.Thank you to everyone who supported & cheered me on!

Day 99/100: I can’t wait to show you everything I have planned for this piece! But I’m taking it one stroke at a time, not rushing. Trying to savor the process. Which has been a huge focus of my 100 Day Project, & art practice generally. #the100dayproject #zentangleinspiredart #intuitiveart

Day 97/100:This one started as scrap paper to wipe my watercolor brushes on. Tonight I added gel pen, metallic markers, and colored and pastel pencils. Had no plan. Just made marks that felt right in the moment and here we are at disco sunflower. 😂🌻 Life is like that sometimes. #the100dayproject

Day 96/100: explored with Mom & Dad on Madeleine Island today. Scouted some trails for our Apostle Islands course this July. What a gorgeous day and peaceful place!
This evening I started adding ripple lines to this coffee paint bubble-watercolor background from several weeks ago. #the100dayproject

Day 94/100: Today I started with ink again. The simplicity of black ink on white paper is soothing and meditative for me. Will probably add color to this one after the inking is done. #the100dayproject

Day 93/100: Today I art hopped- I finished the ink portion of yesterday’s little journal art, painted a “plaid” watercolor background, started a bird inspired watercolor, and started adding ink to a watercolor background from Day 89. #the100dayproject

Day 92/100: Spent the day in the islands (especially Stockton Island) today, with a Chequamegon Birding and Nature Festival outing. What a gorgeous day! Just a little time and energy for art this evening afterwards- started with ink for a tiny island inspired journal piece. #the100dayproject

Day 87/100: Finished these tonight! Added more sepia ink, shading & shine with colored pencil & gold & white paint pens. But only managed to get 1 photo of them without some part of a cat in it. 😹 These need a name (names?). Any ideas? #the100dayproject
