Barb was introduced to Zentangle in a therapeutic environment, and developed a passion for the mind calming strokes of the tangles. After struggling with depression and anxiety following the death of her only child in 2008, through Zentangle Barb learned to trust and believe in herself again. She became a Certified Zentangle Teacher in June 2017, and truly believes in the power of Zentangle to calm a busy mind, to instill self confidence and pride in oneself, and that anyone can learn the technique. The trademarked slogan from the founders of the Zentangle Method, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas says it all... "Everything is possible, one stroke at a time".
