I was born and raised in Bermuda: a tiny little island 640 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras. I started doodling in 2014 after coming across the art of “zentangles” on Pinterest. I loved the idea of creating these whimsical little doodles as there really is no end to them. A Zentangle practice builds on the Zentangle Method of simple deliberate strokes which build on each other in beautiful, mesmerising and surprising ways. Being brought up on this tiny little island, I am naturally a lover of all things to do with the sea and am endlessly inspired by the beauty of Bermuda, above and below the surface. I recently came across a quote which I think fits well here, it’s by Joanne Dugan: “Whether from a sagging inflatable kiddie pool, a deserted swimming hole, a rocky Pacific beach, the shores of East Hampton, or a gushing city fire hydrant, we define our summers by the water we sit by. We smell it, taste it, love near it, write about it, and cast our gaze out past it. We make important decisions near it and also use it to forget, just for a time, those things we don’t want to think about anymore.”. I hope you enjoy my designs as much as I love creating them!
