Deborah L. Butterfield

Hi, I’m Deborah L. Butterfield, a Certified Zentangle Teacher and professional artist living and working in Northern California.


I hope you'll join me to build your Tangle Library, learn new tangles and variations, and use new approaches to strings to take your pieces in fun new directions. You'll also learn a system for cataloging the tangles you learn.

It's easy, it's fun and it's relaxing - with an emphasis on the relaxation and fun! And in the process, you'll create small abstract works of art and discover the joy of creating art one pen stroke at a time.
