Meet the Tangle Island Team

Tangle Island Teaching Team

Nancy Dawes 

Teaching and sharing Zentangle art is my passion! You can find me in my studio or online at http://ITeachTangling.com, Facebook and Instagram @ITeachTangling.

I enjoy Zentangle™ art and find it relaxes away the stress of my work day.  Attending the Zentangle teaching seminar was a dream come true adding to my full art life.  My training took place in Rhode Island, USA in November 2013 (class 13 in 2013!). I now teach Zentangle™ classes at North Island College, from my own studio in Courtenay, BC, and other locations in North America. 

Art, crafting and teaching have always been my passion.  Starting with making cards in the mid to late 80’s, later making scrapbooks, and more recently enjoying all sorts of mixed media art.

I am Copic certified and have taken classes in Tombow water colouring, Stampscapes scene building (from Kevin himself), scrapbook design, lettering techniques, mixed media techniques, floral and art design (with Sharla Hicks) and many others.

Jerryann Haggart became a Certified Zentangle Teacher in Class 12, October 2013. She has always been involved in creating or teaching art in one way or another. In her university years, she managed to talk the fine arts program into letting her take studio courses as electives, and has explored many different media, including stained glass, carving, oils, acrylics, and watercolors.  She graduated from Queens with a BA & M.Div. and has worked with people in a variety of challenging situations, with a view toward balance and empowerment. As well as spending every available minute either in her home studio or garden, Jerryann currently works part time for SD 72 in the StrongStart Program for children and families.

Jerryann believes everyone is an artist, and getting in touch with the creative nurtures our spirit. For her, art has to be fun, enjoyable and contribute to ones sense of wellbeing. Zentangle was a natural fit, and Jerryann loves the way it helps people open the doors to producing their own artistic expressions. Visit Jerryann's website Tangled Artistry.
