Mary Jane Holcroft is a Certified Zentangle Teacher. She discovered Zentangle quite by chance when researching a topic for her school class. Although she had once studied art, she had lost touch completely with her creative side. Zentangle brought her back in touch with it, as has her love of journaling. Mary Jane says: ’The process of putting my thoughts down on paper gives them clarity and also takes away any negative power they may have held.’
