I was introduced to Zentangle by two people I hold very close to
my heart. For me it was like being introduced to a beautiful new language. At
first even though I did not know the language, I knew that it was familiar,
calming, interesting, and simply wonderful. I felt compelled to learn this
language … the language of Zentangle. I began creating Zentangles and
soon found myself completely engaged in this intersting new art form. Unlike
many other artforms, Zentangle is about the process. There are no expectations,
rather a rediscovery in learning to appreciate the “now”. I learn
something new about what Zentangle means to me every time I do one. Zentangle
is something different for everyone and for some people it may be many
different things.
For me, Zentangle is:
An art form, a hand
exercise, an escape from reality, a pathway back to reality, an everyday
practice, something to increase focus, a place where ideas come from,
perfection, a mess, a smile, a gift for a friend, a gift for myself, something
special, and mine.
And Zentangle can be
yours too.
I began assisting in
Zentangle classes in 2004. I soon started teaching classes on my own. I have
taught in many different settings including; middle schools, high schools,
universities, after schools programs, non-profits, scrapbooking stores, arts
councils, homes, and yoga studios. My classes have been filled with people from
age 9 to 82 and ranged from professional artists to those with special needs.
I am based out
central Massachusetts. Please feel free to contact me about hosting a class or
if you are looking to take a class.
