I’m in Virginia and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Romi Marks’ Zentangle class on Zoom. She is an awesome teacher and even though I live far away, I was able to learn and enjoy this art form through your library. I certainly hope these classes can continue as they are a blessing to me. ~Donna
I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to take classes with Romi Marks. It’s wonderful to be able to take classes long distance and meet people you would otherwise not know. During these trying times it’s a godsend when you are not able to leave home. Plus, Romi is a great teacher and a wonderfully generous person Thank you again. ~Mo
So love the Zentangle class offered by the SR library. ~Marie

Romi Marks is a fantastic teacher and guide through the meditative art process of Zentangle. When class was held at the San Rafael Library, I enjoyed and learned from each class that I attended. Now on Zoom, the experience is also wonderful. Less crowding and more meditative. Thank you for offering this most valuable class. Romi’s style offers calm and freedom especially in a time of uncertainty. Susan
Romi is a dynamic Zentangle instructor! This class was the calm in the eye of my chaotic week. Thank you for offering her classes through the library. Caritas
Words can never express the joy I get from the Tangled Yogi Zentangle classes your library offers. I draw them on cards and send them out to people who, “need a lift.” Feedback has been very positive. So very many people are having a difficult time right now; every small act of kindness brightens someone’s life for a while. Romi Marks, the Tangled Yogi, is a breath of fresh air! She is very kind, patient, and talented. Thank you again for offering these wonderful classes. Betsey
[Romi’s class] was the most enjoyable 2+ hours that I have spent on Zoom in a very long time and just what I was searching for as a creative outlet and way to use my stash of colored pencils. Romi is a wonderful teacher and it’s great to experience how other people express their own creativity, given the same task. Shirley
