I have taught several mandala drawing classes from age 10- adult. I love being able to provide a creative opportunity for all people, no experience is necessary. We all have a unique way of bringing beauty through circle drawing into the world. I learn and see incredible drawings in every class by each student. I’ve been creating my interpretation of mandalas for a few years and I continue to be amazed at the endless variety and possibilities.
