SANDI KELLEY - #4
Astoria Art Loft
106 Third St.
pen, ink, graphite, mixed media
Will be doing a demonstration during the studio tour
I first discovered Zentangle while browsing through Pinterest in the fall of 2011. I fell in love with the images of small white tiles with black ink patterns that somehow looked more like art than doodle. Once I went to the Zentangle website I was hooked. I enjoyed the process and knew others would too so I decided to become a certified teacher.
Zentangle has enriched my life, and I believe through the process of Zentangle I have become an artist. Almost everyone who sees my art assumes that I must have doodled a lot when I was younger. Not so. I came to Zentangle with no artistic experience or talent and with doubts aplenty about the philosophy of “there are no mistakes in Zentangle.” Once that truth became part of my creative mind set I have discovered untapped self-confidence, not only with my art but with my life.
Like anything else in life, you will get from Zentangle what you put in. It takes daily practice to truly come to embrace the awesome truth that “Anything is possible, one stroke at a time.”
