I’m a meditative artist and the creator of Zentastic Art — a calming and creative practice that blends mindfulness, meditation, and art-making into one relaxing, expressive experience. With Zentastic Art, there’s no pressure to create something “perfect.” It’s all about staying in the present moment, letting go of expectations, and enjoying the simple, soothing process of creating art.

Originally from Chicago, I bring both a curious mind and a gentle spirit into my work. I’ve always loved math and science — the structure, the patterns — and I find a similar kind of rhythm and peace in the repetition and flow of meditative art. That same curiosity fuels my workshops, where I guide people in exploring their inner worlds through simple marks and shapes that hold space for stillness and self-discovery.

I run workshops and weekly classes through my business, Ohana Let-Go Meditate, and I’m part of the creative community at the Main Street Art Gallery in Brighton. For me, art is more than what ends up on the page — it’s about connection. When people start to smile, laugh, and lose themselves in the process, I know something beautiful is happening. My goal is to create a space where we can all relax, be ourselves, and maybe even feel like teenagers again — free, open, and full of light.
