Hello! I’m Janet
Zenful Drawing Artist
What does a statistician with a 25-year software engineering career have to do with mindful drawing? Everything, as it turns out…
My path to mindful drawing wasn’t exactly a straight line. Armed with a Master’s Degree in Statistics and deep in the world of software engineering, I spent decades speaking the language of logic and code. But something was missing – a way to quiet my active mind without fighting against its natural tendencies.
In 2009, I found myself in a room with a small group of people who would become the first-ever certified Zentangle® teachers. Something clicked. Here was a structured approach to creativity that spoke to both sides of my brain – the analytical engineer and the hidden artist.
Being part of that pioneering first CZT class, and later attending the CZT Master Class in 2010, showed me that there was a way to merge precision with creative flow, structure with freedom, and most importantly – a way to achieve mindfulness without traditional meditation.
