Hi, I'm Yvonne. Welcome to Ywestart!

Ywestart... Yes, Why We Start

I started Zentangle in 2013, but was a maker/crafter/artist for decades before that (thank you Grandma's!).

These days, no matter where I am in the world, you'll never find me without my Zentangle tools…a pen, pencil, and a square piece of paper. My creative spirit finds ways to express itself in the process of each pen stroke and my brain finds a quiet space to focus.

My passion for art is my Y, and I invite you to put pen to paper or dip a brush in colour and find the calm in the creative process.

Let this by your Y too! Join me in a workshop or let’s work together to curate an event for your group.

Y Yvonne Started

With creative grandmothers to guide her, Yvonne started creating at the age of 3. She attended art school in the 90's and in 2013 became a Certified Zentangle teacher. After suffering from a brain injury in 2017, Yvonne found that Zentangle was the one thing that brought a calmness and helped her heal.
