I teach the Zentangle Method to groups and individuals through both in-person and Zoom classes. WE ALL HAVE A ZENTANGLE® JOURNEY STORY, I guess. From the time I was a little kid, I believed I had no artistic talent and no innate creative ability. My siblings seem to have been gifted with all the available art/music genes. Then in 2014 my artist sister dragged me to Zentangle, kicking and screaming
all the way, "I can't draw, I can't draw, I don't even want to try!!!" Then I did my first Zentangle tile with her, and suddenly it was, "I CAN DRAW!!!" No judgement, no mistakes - anyone of any age that can hold a pencil can learn to tangle. In 2015, after over a year of teaching myself from books, I took zentangle.com's advice and signed up for a Introductory Zentangle class from a local CZT®. I learned that Zentangle is not just a hobby, but a method, a philosophy, a way to relax and not worry any more about whether I am creative or whether I am an Artist. Why the title "Artist" makes any difference, I don't know - we are all artists and creative by nature. It's the expression of that artistry and creativity that most people have forgotten how to do. So to spread the Zentangle Method® and that wonderful philosophy, I completed four days of teacher training and am now a CZT myself. I offer private and group lessons from beginner to advanced levels in the Oak Ridge area, and will shortly begin teaching at ORICL, the Oak Ridge Institute for Continued Learning. I will teach any age from children to seniors. Please contact me by email or Messenger to book classes, find out more about Zentangle, and inquire about pricing. I also have official Zentangle supplies available for purchase. I'm looking forward to tangling with you!
