Zen Kin® Family

Hi! Thank you for visiting my website!  My name is Katrina, and I am so happy to be the creator of these fun, whimsical characters I call Zen Kin®.  I am an artist who incorporates the Zentangle® method of drawing when creating my Zen Kin®. 

When I complete one of my Zen Kin® it brings me joy to see how their unique personalities emerge.  It is then that I decide a first and middle name for them.  After naming them, I add their date of birth.  Lastly, I add my initials and then they become a permanent member of my Zen Kin® family.  I have created many more Zen Kin® that I will share on this website and am always inspired to create more.

My Zen Kin® art is Zentangle Inspired Art.  The hair and other embellishments are drawn with tangles.  Tangles are repetitive patterns developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, founders of Zentangle.  These images are drawn using the Zentangle method which enables the artist to be focused and relaxed while drawing. To learn more about Zentangle, visit Zentangle.com.

 I experience joy and relaxation during the process of creating my Zen Kin®.   I have shared the images with many Zentangle enthusiasts and fellow CZTs.  Watching their joy and hearing their comments about the images brings me so much happiness.  I am hoping that my Zen Kin® will also bring you a bit of joy!  

I hope you will come back again and again as I add more and more Zen Kin® to the family.

Zen Kin^® is the name I have given to these whimsical people that I draw using the Zentangle method. When completed, I give each Zen Kin^® a name and document their date of birth.  Learn more about Zentangle here.  See some of my Zen Kin^® below.
