Tangles and Doodles

This page is dedicated to my artwork inspired by the Zentangle® Method of pattern drawing. It includes pieces created using the traditional Zentangle Method  created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, as well as my own Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA). In 2023 I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT).

The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Zentangle art is generally non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result. You don't need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. You just need to know the steps. The result is a delightful surprise. As you use the Zentangle Method to create beautiful images, you likely will enjoy increased focus, creativity, self-confidence and an increased sense well-being.

I personally love the repetition and flow state I achieve while tangling. As an artist, it's a wonderful way to warm up and focus my creative energy!
