About
Zentangle is a fairly new artform that has taken the world by storm and was founded by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.
Maria is a very well known calligrapher and designer where Rick is a flutemaker, beekeeper, technical analyst and was a monk for 17 years.
To use their own words:
“Zentangle is an easy to learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It helps to increase focus, creativity, and provides artistic satisfaction along with a sense of personal well being.”
It can both be enjoyed by the total novice and artist alike. No art background required.
The method of Zentangle nurtures the soul, helps you to relax, and focus.
Most of all it is FUN.
In my classes I have seen people come out of deep depressions, low self esteems start to flourish. Children with ADD and ADHD learned to concentrate again and the moto " Anything is possible one stroke at a time " can be applied directly to our daily lives.
I am a Social Worker by trade but my first love is art and I knew when I found Zentangle in 2007 that this was something that I can teach, to encourage life enhancing outcomes.
In October 2011, I received my CZT certification, and it has become my full time job, and privilege, to teach this life altering artform.
