Welcome to the Fun and Creative Journey that is Zentangle
I’m Sharon, I’m a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) and your guide to the wonderful world of Zentangle.
A passion for creating possibility
I first saw a colleague doing some Zentangle Inspired Art in August 2013 at a workshop I was attending in Costa Rica. As the drawing took shape, my attention was drawn away from the workshop over and over to her work. I was entranced. At a break I asked her what she was doing. She showed me an instructional book, thankfully written by another CZT which referenced Rick and Maria’s wonderful Zentangle website. I did as much investigation as I could while I was away and learned a little about the process. Right after I returned from the workshop I hit my local art supply store and began my own tangling journey. As someone who always admired art, artists and the artistic process, but who had come to the conclusion that I wasn’t blessed with an artistic talent this method has opened a creative journey for me that had lain dormant for a long time.
Restorative
Zentangle allows you to put that busy monkey mind to rest and drop into a creative zone using a remarkably accessible process. Coming out of ‘the zone’ after working on a tile for some time always leaves a smile on my face, and a sense of peace and calm.
No Mistakes
Enjoy the creative philosophy of ‘No Mistakes’. This process is a wonderful way to put self judgement aside, drop into a beginner mind and gradually open a safe, non-judgemental space for yourself that, if practiced, can infiltrate your whole worldview. Imagine life without that constant critic playing in the background.
Access a Flow State
Some of the most enjoyable experiences in life involve being in a Flow State. That sweet spot where the challenge we face is just at the edge of our competence and involves our whole attention. Artists and Athletes know it well as ‘the zone’. But we can all learn to cultivate these fulfilling experineces. Zentangle is a perfect way to practice.
Community
Tanglers are some of the most wonderful people I know. Gain access to a supportive, encouraging, self esteem building, positive artists community. Begin where you are. We welcome your learning and self expression journey.
Easy to Learn
Explore the infinite creativity that comes from a few simple strokes of a pen. Give up those ideas that art is for some special set of gifted people. Enjoy tapping into your own creative potential
A Lifetime to Master
All the really great hobbies provide a long, enjoyable, continually expanding path toward mastery. Zentangle is no exception. You’ll learn how in a few minutes, create your first time in an hour or two and will have the tools you need for a life time of creative expression in no time.
