A Valentine Zentangle From Suzanne McNeill...

Today we are so very lucky to have a guest post from one of our sweetest Art & Soul Instructors... the extremely imaginative Suzanne Mc Neill. She is often known as “the Trendsetter” of the arts industry. Dedicated to hands-on creativity, Suzanne loves to experiments and invent something new and fun. She especially enjoys working in different media and finds that moving from one to another keeps her art creative, fresh and alive. Suzanne has authored over 30 books and has been the creative woman behind Design Originals — a publishing company dedicated to all things fun and creative. It is her pleasure to share, inspire and encourage you down the creative path. And today, Suzanne is sharing with us this adorable Valentine Zentangle project. Take it away Suzanne...



Wow! That was great. Easy peasy! What a great idea Suzanne, and thanks so much for sharing it with us. I see a few Zentangle gifts in somebody's future!

Suzanne, will be teaching Zentangle at Art & Soul — along with many other creative workshops — in 2014. Suzanne's award-winning art is known for happy colors, imaginative details, and creative inspiration. Working with her hands and developing innovative concepts is her passion. Through her popular workshops she enjoys sharing with students and artists. Check out her unique class offerings at our Kansas City retreat, our Portland retreat and also at our Virginia Beach retreat. Suzanne has graciously provided us exciting video previews for all her classes to peak your interest. You can view them on each of her individual class pages.

Got Safari Tickets? It's a Mixed Media Jungle Out There!

Hello Creativity Adventurers! Have you signed up for our Kansas City, MO Art & Soul event yet? I just wanted to pop in and make sure you got your virtual "tickets" for this retreat as registration is nearing its close and we don’t want you to miss out on this artistic adventure. And although we do things a little bit different here at Art & Soul — meaning that we actually keep some spaces available until the actual day of the class — we do have an internal deadline we honor with each of our instructors. This  ensures that they are able to plan for and order supplies, get a reasonable airfare, and prepare their exciting curriculum for all you creative souls who are coming.

So if you’ve considered attending at our Kansas City, MO Art & Soul Retreat, you have until February 20th to pick out the workshops you’d like to take — after that, classes may be limited. So treat yourself to a respite of creativity where you’ll connect with like-minded individuals and explore new possibilities in art. Come and join us for a mixed media adventure!

And don’t forget, we offer Art & Soul gift certificates in any denomination! So tell your sweetheart you want the gift of creativity this Valentine’s Day!
