Hey friends! My name is Sam Taylor. I'm an illustrator/surface pattern designer/maker from Coastal NC.

I've been a certified instructor of Zentangle® since 2011 and I currently teach a variety of art workshops outside of my studio on the coast of NC.

A lot of the workshops I teach these days are centered around achieving mindfulness with simple watercolor techniques and repetitive textures/patterns. I focus on teaching you a lot of technique and encourage you to continue the practice after class. My art and designs often take influence from my travels, the lively marshlands and woodlands that I grew up exploring, and the hidden, illusive world of faerie.

Zentangle® is a therapeutic drawing method that involves using primarily pen and ink to draw and combine patterns within a limited amount of space. This method was developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Learn more at Zentangle.com.
